Taking Photographs—Sensitivity (ISO Equivalency)
“Sensitivity” is the digital equivalent of fi lm speed. The higher the sensitivity,
the less light needed to make an exposure, allowing higher shutter speeds
or smaller apertures.
Sensitivity can be set between values roughly equivalent to ISO 100 and
ISO 800 in steps equivalent to
1
/3 EV. Settings of HI-1 and HI-2 (respectively
1 EV and 2 EV over ISO 800) are avail able where high sensitivity is a priority.
Sensitivity can be adjusted using the ISO option in the shooting menu or by
pressing the ISO button and rotating the main command dial.
