ISO Sensitivity
Sensitivity
is
a measure
of
how
qUickly the camera reacts
to
light. The higher
the
sensitivity,
the
less
light
needed
to
make
an
exposure.
Although
a high
ISO
rating
is
suited for shooting pictures
of
subjects in action or in
poor
lighting, high
sensitivity
is
often associated
with
"noise" - randomly spaced, brightly colored
pixels concentrated in dark parts
of
the
image.
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity
is
ISO
64
under
normal
conditions;
when
lighting
is
poor
and
the
flash
is
off,
the
camera
compensates
by
raising sensitivity
to
a
maximum
of
ISO
800.
When
a
Speedlight
(available separately
from
Nikon)
is
used
with
sensitivity set
to
[Auto],
the
maximum
sensitivity
applied
is
ISO
400.
In
M
mode,
sensitivity
will
be
locked
at
ISO
64.
Fixed range auto
Choose
the
range in
which
the
camera
automatically
adjusts
ISO
sensitivity, in
P,
5,
and
A modes,
from
[ISO
64 -
100J
(default
setting), [ISO 64 - 200],
or
[ISO
64 - 400].
The
camera
will
not
raise sensitivity
beyond
the
maximum
value in
the
selected
range
for
effective
control
over
the
amount
of
"grain"
that
appears in images.
In
M
mode,
sensitivity
will
be
locked
at
ISO
64.
64,100,200,400,800,1600,2000,3200
Sensitivity
will
be
locked
at
the
specified
value.
At the settings other than [Auto], the current setting
is
displayed
in
the
monitor
(~
6).
If [Auto]
is
selected and
the
sensitivity
is
raised above
ISO
64,
the g icon will
be displayed
(~
31).
When [Fixed range auto]
is
selected,
the
maximum
value
of
(H)
+ the sensitivity will be displayed.
