Changing the ISO Speed
By raising the ISO speed, you can shoot bright images even in poor
lighting conditions. This function is convenient when you want to
prevent camera shake, shoot without the flash or shoot with a faster
shutter speed in dark conditions.
You can choose from the following speeds: Auto, 50, 100, 200 and 400.
1 Select * (ISO Speed) from the
FUNC. menu and select the desired
setting with the W or X button.
* The current setting is displayed.
You can shoot the image right after selecting
settings by pressing the shutter button. The
menu displays again after the shot, allowing
you to change the settings easily.
- Set the flash according to shooting conditions, and select
(Flash On) or (Flash Off)
Use the same flash setting as the one that will be used for shooting
when you set the white balance. If the white balance setting
conditions and shooting conditions are not the same, the correct
white balance may not be obtained.
- The ISO speed is set to the same setting to shoot the image.
White balance data cannot be set with (Stitch Assist), but the white
data acquired in another mode can be used.
The custom white balance will not be canceled even if you reset
camera settings to default (p. 81).

low an ISO speed as possible.

raise the speed when the light from the flash is insufficient to illuminate
the subject matter.
