Sensitivity Settings (ISO
SETTING)
The ISO sensitivity indicates how sensitive to
light the film is. A greater value means higher
sensitivity. High sensitivity is suitable for
shooting an object in a dark place or moving
fast and suppresses blurring. However, the
images become rough.
A digital camera can automatically vary the
sensitivity (AUTO). Usually use your camera
in the AUTO mode.
The ISO sensitivity can be selected from
among the following six settings: AUTO,
ISO50, ISO100, ISO200, ISO400, and
ISO800. In AUTO mode, the sensitivity is
ISO160 with flash or ISO125 without flash.
The ISO sensitivity can be set by using the
ADJ. Button or using the Shooting Menu.
• By default, your camera is set to OFF.
• When shooting in a dark place without
using the flash, raising the sensitivity
enables you to give a subject more bright-
ness.
• If you increase the ISO Sensitivity, it
becomes possible to shoot under low light
conditions, but your pictures may become
grainy. The higher the ISO Sensitivity, the
grainier your pictures are likely to become,
so it is necessary to exercise caution.
