Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu W ISO Sensitivity Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Although a high ISO rating is suited for taking pictures of subjects in action or in poor lighting, high sensitivity is often associated with "noise" -randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels concentrated in dark parts of the image. [Auto] (default setting) is ISO 50 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800. Choose from values between ISO 50 and 1000. At settings other than [Auto], the current setting is displayed in the monitor (c 6). If [Auto] is selected and the sensitivity is raised above an ISO 50, the W icon will be displayed (c 6, 29). d Color Options Make colors more vivid or record pictures in monochrome. e Standard color (default setting) Use for pictures exhibiting natural color. C Vivid color Use to achieve a vivid, "photoprint" effect. D Black-and-white Record pictures in black-and-white. B Sepia Record pictures in sepia tones. A Cyanotype Record pictures in cyan-blue monochrome. The effects of the selected option can be previewed in the monitor. At settings other than [Standard color], the icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (c 6). 91 Shooting, Playback, and Setup Menus

Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher
the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Although a high
ISO rating is suited for taking pictures of subjects in action or in poor lighting,
high sensitivity is often associated with “noise” –randomly spaced, brightly
colored pixels concentrated in dark parts of the image.
[Auto] (default setting) is ISO 50 under normal conditions; when lighting is
poor and the flash is off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a
maximum of ISO 800. Choose from values between ISO 50 and 1000.
At settings other than [Auto], the current setting is displayed in the monitor
