Basic photo settings
ISO SENSITIVITY
The ISO setting allows the shutter speed/aperture value to be
adjusted to meet the requirements of the relevant situation.
Next to the fixed settings, an automatic function is also available
(see also the following section).
Setting the function - using menu control
1. In the menu's
IMAGE section, select ISO, and
2. in the submenu, the desired setting.
Setting the function - using gesture control (with direct access)
This is done basically as described for White Balance on p. 199.
Auto ISO Setting
When
ISO is set to Auto, the camera automatically adjusts the
sensitivity to match the ambient brightness. However, when using
the function, it is also possible to specify priorities, for example for
compositional reasons. This enables you to limit the range of
sensitivities used (e.g. to control noise) and also to set the shutter
speed above which the automatic increase in sensitivity is
activated (instead of using continually slower shutter speeds, e.g.
to prevent blurred pictures of moving subjects).
Setting the functions
1. In the menu's
SETUP section, select Auto ISO Settings,
2. in the submenu
Auto ISO Photo, and
3. in the next submenu
Maximum ISO, Maximum Exposure Time or
Floating ISO, and
4. select the desired settings in the respective submenus, or
switch the
Floating ISO function On or Off.
Floating ISO is intended for use with zoom lenses with varying full
stops. When set to
ON, it can compensate their changing effective
apertures while zooming in the following situations:
– in manual exposure control mode
– ISO is set to one of the values, i.e. not to
Auto ISO
Notes:
•
Maximum ISO and Maximum Exposure Time are only effective
when
ISO is set to Auto ISO.
•
1/f results in the slowest possible shutter speeds based on the
rule of thumb for free-handed, blur-free pictures, e.g.
1
⁄100s with a
focal length of 100mm.
1/2f is principally the same, except that
it results in twice as fast shutter speeds whenever possible, e.g.
for even more safety against blurred pictures.
