Modes & ISO Sensitivity
A S M
Higher ISO settings produce more electrical noise.
When ISO is set to AUTO and you are shooting in dark conditions
without a flash, the sensitivity automatically increases, otherwise the
shutter speed will be reduced, possibly resulting in camera movement
and blurred images.
If the subject is too far away for the flash illumination to reach when
ISO is set to AUTO, the sensitivity is automatically increased.
When using slow synchronization in the
P
,
A
or
S
mode, the slowest
available shutter speed varies depending on the ISO setting.
