ISO Sensitivity
When ISO sensitivity is increased, less light is needed when taking images.
Higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. 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 125, but is displayed if the ISO
sensitivity automatically increases to more than 125.
• When Fixed range auto is selected, U and the maximum value for ISO sensitivity is
displayed.
B Notes About ISO Sensitivity
• Some settings cannot be used with other functions (A71).
• Motion detection (E91) does not function when the ISO sensitivity is set to any setting other
than Auto.

Sensitivity is ISO 125 when there is sufficient lighting; the camera
compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600 when
lighting is dim.
I Fixed range auto
Select the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO
sensitivity, from ISO 125-400 or ISO 125-800. The camera will not
increase sensitivity beyond the maximum value in the selected range.
Set the maximum value for ISO sensitivity for effective control over
the amount of “grain” that appears in images.
