ISO sensitivity Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs to be taken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations is [AUTO], which starts at ISO 200
- a value that balances noise and dynamic range - and then adjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions. Choose ISO 100 when reducing noise is more important than enhancing dynamic range. 1 Display the live control (P. 20) and select the ISO sensitivity item using FG. 2 Select an option using HI and press i. • The selected option is displayed in the monitor.
