ISO sensitivity
The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera’s light sensitivity and the
better its ability to shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values also
introduce electrical noise into the resulting image, which may give them a
grainy appearance.
AUTO : Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the light
conditions and the subject brightness.
64/100/200/400: With a lower ISO setting, you can shoot clear, sharp
images in daylight. With a higher ISO setting, you can use
faster shutter speeds with the same amount of light.

“How to use the menus” (P.70)
• AUTO is not available in A, S or M mode.
• Press
again to exit the menu.
• When ISO sensitivity is not set to auto,
ISO is displayed on the control panel.
• Higher ISO settings produce more electrical noise.
• ISO is standardized based on the sensitivity of normal camera film.
The scale is approximate.
• When ISO is set to AUTO and you are shooting in dark conditions
without a flash, the sensitivity automatically increases, otherwise the
shutter speed will be reduced, possibly resulting in camera
movement and blurred images.
• If the subject is too far away for the flash illumination to reach when
ISO is set to AUTO, the sensitivity is automatically increased.
• When using slow synchronization in the P, A or S mode, the slowest
available shutter speed varies depending on the ISO setting.
