Five camera sensitivity settings can be selected with a still image: Auto, 50, 100, 200, 400; the
numerical values are based on an ISO equivalent; the higher the number, the more sensitive the film.
Sensitivity can be changed in section 2 of the recording menu (p. 40). This cannot be changed with
movie recording or digital subject programs. Sensitivity can be assigned to the controller (p. 45).

FLASH RANGE AND CAMERA SENSITIVITY
Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens’ wide-angle position as it
is at the telephoto position.

Flash range (telephoto)
The auto setting automatically adjusts the camera sensitivity to
the light conditions between ISO 50 and ISO 160. When any
other setting than auto is used, “ISO” and the set value appear
on the LCD monitor.
A specific sensitivity setting can be selected. As the ISO value
doubles, the camera sensitivity doubles. Like grain in silver-
halide film that increases with speed, noise increases with the
sensitivity in digital imaging; an ISO setting of 50 has the least
noise and 400 has the most.
Noise reduction is applied automatically to exposures of one second or longer. Processing is
applied to each image after it is captured. The processing time varies from image to image; a
processing message is displayed during this period.
