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 shooting 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 the settings other than [Auto], the current setting is displayed in the monitor
(A 6). If [Auto] is selected and the sensitivity is raised above ISO 64, the E icon will
be displayed (A 29).
B ISO 3200
• When [3200] is selected for ISO sensitivity, image mode is displayed in red.
• When [ISO sensitivity] is set to [3200], [Image mode] cannot be set to H (4,000 × 3,000), I (4,000
× 3,000), R (3,264 × 2,448), and P (3,968 × 2,232). At these image mode settings, selecting [3200]
for [ISO sensitivity] automatically switches the [Image mode] setting to L (2,592 × 1,944). When
any option other than [3200] is next selected for [ISO sensitivity], the original image mode setting
is restored.
• At an [ISO sensitivity] setting of [3200], the [Multi-shot 16] (A86) option of the continuous
shooting mode is not available. At a [Continuous] setting of [Multi-shot 16], selecting [3200] for
[ISO sensitivity] switches the [Continuous] setting to [Single]. The [Continuous] setting does not
change even when [ISO sensitivity] is set to options other than [3200].
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 64 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is
off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1000.
64, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 2000, 3200
Sensitivity will be locked at the specified value.
