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.

Select the ISO from [AUTO], [64],

[100], [200], [400], [800], and

[1600], and then press

Z.

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

[2048 × 1536] or less. Even when the [K] is set higher than [2048 × 1536], the
picture is saved as [2048 × 1536].

• When [ISO] is set to [AUTO], the sensitivity automatically increases if the

subject is too far away for the flash to reach.

• In

f and h modes, [ISO] is locked on [AUTO]. Moreover, in A and S

modes, [AUTO] cannot be set.
