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 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.
50/80/160/320 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.

g“How to use the menus” (P.33)
• AUTO is not available in p mode.
• Press e again to exit the menu.
• Higher ISO settings produce more electrical noise.
• When ISO is set to AUTO and you are shooting in dark conditions
without a flash, ISO automatically increases, otherwise the shutter
speed will be reduced, possibly resulting blurred images due to
camera movement.
• If the subject is too far away for the flash illumination to reach when
ISO is set to AUTO, the sensitivity is automatically increased.
