Setting ISO Sensitivity
The ISO setting sets the cameras sensitivity to light. The ISO setting can be
increased when you need to take pictures in places where a flash may not be
allowed. The overall picture quality will decrease slightly as the ISO setting is
increased.
Preparation
• Set the mode dial except for [ ]/[ ]/[ ]. (P27)
1 Select [SENSITIVITY] and set the
ISO sensitivity.
• When setting to [AUTO], the ISO
sensitivity is automatically adjusted
from ISO50 to ISO200 according to
the brightness. (From ISO100 to
ISO200 when using the flash)
• Close the menu by pressing the
[MENU] button after finishing the
setting.
(The screen is displayed as
illustrated in DMC-FX5.)
