• Settings
[AUTO]/[AUTO(1600)]/[AUTO(800)]/[AUTO(400)]/
[6400]/[3200]/[1600]/[800]/[400]/[200]/[100]/[64]
Selecting [AUTO]/[AUTO(800)]/[AUTO(400)] as the
sensitivity setting, the camera selects the best
sensitivity setting for the subject’s brightness.
• About [AUTO(1600)]/[AUTO(800)]/[AUTO(400)]
[AUTO(1600)]/[AUTO(800)]/[AUTO(400)] can be
selected when the Mode dial is set to N. For
[AUTO(1600)]/[AUTO(800)]/[AUTO(400)], sensitivity is
automatically set in the same way as for [AUTO], but
the highest sensitivity is limited. Select [AUTO(1600)]/
[AUTO(800)]/[AUTO(400)] depending on the scene.
MEMO
• When anything other than N, <, M and > in the
Photography mode is selected, only AUTO can be
selected for the ISO (sensitivity) setting.
• When N, <, M and > in the Photography mode is
selected, AUTO cannot be selected for the ISO
(sensitivity) setting.
• [ QUALITY] is limited to 4, when [ ISO] is set to
6400 or 3200. [ QUALITY] automatically changes
and is displayed in yellow in the LCD screen. When
[ ISO] is set to other than 6400 or 3200, the
restriction is cleared.
CAUTION
• Although higher sensitivity settings will allow you to take
pictures in darker locations, they will also increase the
amount of speckling in your images. Choose the
sensitivity setting that best suits the conditions.
• When 3200 or 6400 is set for [SISO], image resolution
will be lower than if shot at a sensitivity setting lower
than 1600.
The selected sensitivity
setting appears on the
screen when the
sensitivity setting is set
to the setting other than
[AUTO].
