Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu E 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) Sensitivity is ISO 64 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800. 64,100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 2000, 3200 Sensitivity will be locked at the specified value. At the settings other than Auto, the current setting is displayed in the monitor (A 6). If Auto is selected and the sensitivity is raised above ISO 64, the E icon will be displayed (A 29). Shooting, Playback and Setup Menus C Notes on ISO 3200 • When 3200 is selected for ISO sensitivity, the image mode mark on the screen will be displayed in red during shooting. • When ISO sensitivity is set to 3200, Image mode cannot be set to h 3648×2736, i 3648×2736, L 2592×1944, P 3584×2016, and s 2736×2736. At these image mode settings, selecting 3200 for ISO sensitivity automatically switches the Image mode setting to M 2048×1536.
