Use the four-way keys of the controller to
highlight the sensitivity option. The Hi 200
and Lo 80 options are for Zone Matching,
see below.
Press the center button of the controller to
complete the operation.
The auto setting automatically adjusts the camera sensitivity to the light conditions between ISO
100 and 800, and ISO 100 and 400 when using flash. The fixed numerical settings are based on the
film ISO equivalent: the higher the number, the more sensitive. As the ISO value doubles, the
camera sensitivity doubles; a change of one Ev. Noise increases with sensitivity; an ISO setting of
100 has the least noise and 3200 has the most. Noise is a grainy texture that can be apparent in the
image.
Zone Matching is used for recording high-key (Hi200) or low-key (Low80) scenes. The number refers
to the approximate ISO equivalent for reflected-light meter measurements. A high-key scene is
made up of predominately light tones and colors. A low-key scene is made up of dark tones and
colors. Zone Matching controls exposure and contrast to improve reproduction of these scenes.
When selected, the zone indicator is displayed in the camera-sensitivity display on the monitor. Any
changes to contrast with the Digital Effects Control are canceled (p. 63).
