ISO rating
}The sensitivity (ISO rating) in recording can be set like a photo
film. The provided ISO values are set by converting the ob-
tained sensitivity into an ISO value of photography films.
Three ISO values including 25, 50 and 100 are available. A larger
value indicates that the camera becomes more suitable for
recording under low light or recording of quickly moving ob-
jects.
· When an other value than “25” is selected, the LCD panel shows “ISO”.
#Although increasing the ISO value makes the camera suitable for recording under low light, it also results in
increasing noise in the picture. Select the appropriate ISO value according to situations.
