ISO Speed Shooting Situation (No flash) Flash Range

If [z3: Highlight tone priority] has been set to [Enable], you cannot
select “L” (ISO 50), ISO 100/125/160, “H1” (ISO 51200), and “H2” (ISO
102400) (p.146).
Shooting in high temperatures may result in images that look grainier.
Long exposures can also cause irregular colors in the image.
When you shoot at high ISO speeds, noise (dots of light, banding, etc.)
may become noticeable.
When shooting in conditions that produce an extreme amount of noise,
such as a combination of high ISO speed, high temperature and long
exposure, images may not be recorded properly.
