Selecting AUTO as the sensitivity setting, the camera
selects the best sensitivity setting for the subject’s
brightness.
MEMO
When anything other than s MANUAL in the
Photography mode is selected, only AUTO can be
selected for the ISO (sensitivity) setting.
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.
• Only if the sensitivity setting is set to “1600” and the
camera is turned off, the setting is not retained. When
turning the camera on again, the setting has been set to
AUTO. Select “1600” before taking pictures with “1600”
sensitivity setting.

setting appears on the
