ISO Speed NOTE This setting does not apply when recording video clips, or when the shooting mode is set to Fast Shot. This setting adjusts the sensitivity of the camera to light. When ISO Speed is set to the default Auto setting, the camera selects the best ISO speed for the scene. Lower ISO speeds will capture the best quality images with the least amount of grain (or noise), but result in slower shutter speeds. If taking a picture in low light conditions without a flash at ISO 100, you may want to use a tripod. In contrast, higher ISO numbers allow faster shutter speeds, and can be used when taking pictures in dark areas without a flash, or pictures of fast moving objects. Higher ISO speeds produce pictures with more grain (or noise) and, thus, can be of lower quality. 1 In the Capture Menu (page 43), select ISO Speed. 2 In the ISO Speed sub-menu, use the buttons to highlight a setting. 3 Press Menu/OK to save the setting and return to the Capture Menu. If the setting is anything other than the default Auto setting, the icon for the setting will appear in the Live View screen. The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off. The ISO Speed setting resets to the default Auto setting when you turn the camera off.

Lower ISO speeds will capture the best quality images with the

speeds. If taking a picture in low light conditions without a
flash at

higher ISO numbers allow faster shutter speeds, and can be
used when taking pictures in dark areas without a flash, or

pictures with more grain (or noise) and, thus, can be of
