W ISO Sensitivity
Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera
reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less
light needed to make an exposure. Although a high
ISO rating is suited for taking pictures of subjects in
action or in poor lighting, high sensitivity is often
associated with “noise” -randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels concen-
trated in dark parts of the image.
[Auto] is equivalent to ISO 50 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor
and the flash is off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maxi-
mum of ISO 800 equivalent. Choose from values between ISO 50 and 1600
equivalent.
At settings other than [Auto], the current setting is displayed in the monitor
(c 6). If [Auto] is selected and the sensitivity is raised above an ISO 50 equiv-
alent, the W icon will be displayed (c 31).
d Color Options
Make colors more vivid or record pictures in mono-
chrome.
The effects of the selected option can be previewed in the monitor. At set-
tings other than [Standard color], the icon for the current setting is displayed
in the monitor (c 6).
