ISO is a measure of sensitivity to light. The
higher the sensitivity is set, the less light is
needed to take a picture so the camera
becomes more suitable for recording in
dark places.
• When setting to [AUTO], the ISO
sensitivity is automatically adjusted from
[ISO100] to [ISO200] according to the
brightness. (It can be adjusted from
[ISO100] to [ISO400] when using the
flash.)
• The ISO sensitivity cannot be set to
[AUTO] in Manual exposure.
• The sensitivity automatically switches to
between [ISO1600] and [ISO6400] in
[HIGH SENS.] in scene mode.
• If picture noise becomes a problem, we
recommend that you take pictures after
lowering the maximum ISO sensitivity
level, increasing the setting for
[NOISE REDUCTION] under [PICT.ADJ.],
