E 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
concentrated in dark parts of the image.
At settings other than Auto, the current setting is displayed in the monitor (A 6).
If Auto is selected and the sensitivity is raised above an ISO 100, the E icon will
be displayed (A 31).
F Color Options
Make colors more vivid or record pictures in monochrome.
At settings other than Standard color, the icon for the current setting is displayed
in the monitor (A 6). Monitor color tones also change depending upon the
setting.
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 100 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor, the camera
compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600.
100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200
Sensitivity will be locked at the specified value.
When ISO sensitivity is locked, Motion detection (A110) does not function even
when Auto is selected for Motion detection.
