ISO Sensitivity
“ISO sensitivity” is the digital equivalent of film speed.
Choose from settings that
range from a value roughly equivalent to ISO 100 to one roughly equivalent to ISO
3200 in steps equivalent to 1 EV.
For special situations, ISO sensitivity can be raised
above ISO 3200 by about 1 EV (Hi 1, equivalent to ISO 6400) or 2 EV (Hi 2, equivalent
to ISO 12800).
Auto and scene modes also offer an AUTO option, which allows the
camera to set ISO sensitivity automatically in response to lighting conditions; AUTO is
selected automatically in i and j modes.
The higher the ISO sensitivity, the less
light needed to make an exposure, allowing higher shutter speeds or smaller
apertures.
