ISO sensitivity
Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs
to be taken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations
is [AUTO], which starts at ISO 200— a value that balances noise and dynamic
range — and then adjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.
Choose ISO 100 when reducing noise is more important than enhancing dynamic
range.
1 Display the live control (P. 20) and select the ISO sensitivity item

% Tips
The default value and upper limit for auto ISO sensitivity can be selected using
[ISO-AUTO SET] (P. 75).
The options available for ISO sensitivity can be selected using [ISO STEP] (P. 75).
Auto sensitivity can be enabled in M mode using [ISO-AUTO] (P. 75).
Adjusting color (white balance)
White balance (WB) ensures that white objects in images recorded by the camera
appear white. [AUTO] is suitable in most circumstances, but other values can be
selected according to the light source when [AUTO] fails to produce the desired
results or you wish to introduce a deliberate color cast into your images.
1 Display the live control (P. 20) and select
the white balance item using FG.
