Changing ISO sensitivity (ISO)

The higher the ISO, the better the camera’s light sensitivity and ability to
shoot in low light conditions. However, high sensitivity introduces noise
into the resulting picture, which may give it a grainy appearance.

AUTO

Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the conditions
of the subject.

64/100/200/

With a low ISO setting, you can shoot clear, sharp images in

400/800/1600

daylight. With a high ISO setting, you can shoot in dark places.

[1600], and then press

Note

• ISO is based on the sensitivity of normal camera film.
• Shooting with the ISO set to [800] or [1600] limits the picture size to

[1600 × 1200] or less. Even when [

K

] is set higher than [1600 × 1200], the

picture is saved as [1600 × 1200].

• Using the flash when shooting close-up pictures with the ISO set to [800] or

[1600] may overexpose pictures.

• Digital zoom is not available when the ISO is set to [800] or [1600].
