To view the automatically determined ISO speed when you have
set the ISO speed to [AUTO], press the shutter button halfway.

Although choosing a lower ISO speed may reduce image
graininess, there may be a greater risk of subject and camera
shake in some shooting conditions.

The faster shutter speed used at higher ISO speeds reduces
subject and camera shake and increases the flash range.
However, shots may look grainy.

You can also set the ISO speed by accessing MENU (= 31) ►
