ADVANCED SETTINGS
ISO sensitivity is a value that expresses sensitivity to light. A
larger value indicates higher sensitivity, which is better for
shooting when available lighting is dim. If you want to use faster
shutter speeds, you should use a higher ISO sensitivity value.
Under certain conditions, a fast shutter speed in combination
with a high ISO sensitivity setting can cause digital noise, which
makes an image appear rough. For clean, good-quality images,
use the lowest possible ISO sensitivity setting.
1. In the REC mode, press [SET].
2. Use [S] and [T] to select the fifth option from
the top in the operation panel (ISO Sensitivity).
3. Use [W] and [X] to select the setting you want
and then press [SET].
IMPORTANT!
• Using flash with high ISO sensitivity can cause problems
with subjects that close to the camera.
• “Auto” ISO sensitivity always is used for movies, regardless
of the current ISO sensitivity setting.
• You can use the key customization feature to configure the
[W] and [X] buttons so they control the ISO sensitivity
setting (page 138).
