A The ISO Sensitivity Menu ISO sensitivity can also be adjusted using the ISO sensitivity settings option in the shooting menu (0 299). A ISO Sensitivity The higher the ISO sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure, allowing faster shutter speeds or smaller apertures, but the more likely the image is to be affected by noise (randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines). Noise is particularly likely at settings between Hi 0.3 and Hi 4. A Hi 0.3-Hi 4 The settings Hi 0.3 through Hi 4 correspond to ISO sensitivities 0.3-4 EV over ISO 25600 (ISO 32000-409600 equivalent). A Lo 0.3-Lo 1 The settings Lo 0.3 through Lo 1 correspond to ISO sensitivities 0.3- 1 EV below ISO 100 (ISO 80-50 equivalent). Use for larger apertures when lighting is bright. Contrast is slightly higher than normal; in most S cases, ISO sensitivities of ISO 100 or above are recommended.
