Sensitivity
Sensitivity is a measure of how sensitive the camera re-
acts to light. With Auto (default setting), ISO sensitiv-
ity automatically increases at low brightness. Setting
ISO sensitivity at a high level is effective in preventing
blur when Speedlight is disabled in dark settings or
making the subject appear brighter. However, the im-
age may contain “noise” or become “grainy.”
Select from the following five levels and press .
Noise Reduction
When raising sensitivity, “noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly colored pix-
els may appear in pictures. In this case, noise in pictures taken at slow shutter speeds
will be reduced automatically when Noise reduction ( 102) is On.
Sensitivity
Unless the setting is Auto, a selected ISO value is dis-
played in the monitor whenever sensitivity is raised. An
icon will appear at Auto setting when the camera has
automatically changed sensitivity.
Press Button in (Auto shooting) mode to se-
lect Sensitivity ( 81), and then press .
