ISO Sensitivity
When ISO sensitivity is increased, less light is needed when taking pictures.
Higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally, even with subjects
of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by
camera shake and subject movement can be reduced.
• Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects, shooting
without the flash, shooting while using the zoom, etc., images may contain noise.
The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor when the camera is in shooting
mode (A 8).
• When Auto is selected, E is not displayed at ISO 125, but is displayed if the ISO
sensitivity automatically increases to more than 125.
