ISO Sensitivity
The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an image, allowing capturing
darker subjects. Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness, images can be taken at
faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be
reduced.
• Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects, shooting without the
flash, shooting while using the zoom, etc., images may contain noise.
The current setting can be confirmed in the monitor when shooting (A9).
• When Auto is selected, the E icon is not displayed at ISO 80, but is displayed if the ISO
sensitivity automatically increases to more than 80.
• When Fixed range auto is selected, U and the maximum value of ISO sensitivity is
displayed.

Option Description
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 80 when there is sufficient lighting; the camera
compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600 when
lighting is dim.
Fixed range auto
Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO
sensitivity from ISO 80-400 (default setting) and ISO 80-800. The
camera will not increase sensitivity beyond the maximum value in
the selected range. Specify the maximum ISO sensitivity for
effective control over the amount of “grain” that appears in images.
80, 100, 200, 400, 800,
1600, 3200
Sensitivity is locked at the specified value.
