Sensitivity
“Sensitivity” refers to the camera’s sensitivity to light. Lift and rotate the ISO dial to choose from val-
ues between 200 and 12800, or select L(100), H(25600), or H(51200) for special situations (P 112).
Higher values can be used to reduce blur when lighting is poor, while lower values allow slower shut-
ter speeds or wider apertures in bright light; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken
at high sensitivities, particularly at H(51200), while choosing L(100) reduces dynamic range. Values
of from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 are recommended in most situations. If A is selected, the camera will ad-
just sensitivity automatically in response to shooting conditions according to the option selected for
A SHOOTING SETTING> ISO AUTO SETTING (P 97). Choose from AUTO 1, AUTO 2, and AUTO 3.
R Sensitivity is not reset when the camera is turned o .
