Changing ISO sensitivity (ISO)
Select a value according to subject brightness. Higher values let you photograph darker scenes but
also increase image “noise” (mottling). Select [Auto] to let the camera adjust sensitivity according to
lighting conditions.

Sensitivity is adjusted automatically according to shooting conditions.
During still photography, you can choose the maximum and standard values
for ISO sensitivity (P.169).
You can change the shutter speed at which ISO sensitivity starts to rise in P
and A modes (P.170).
During movie recording, ISO sensitivity will be set to values of from ISO 200
to 12800. When [M] is selected for [nMode] (movie exposure mode), auto
ISO sensitivity control can be enabled by selecting [On] for [bISO-Auto].

(still
photography)
Choose a value for ISO sensitivity. ISO 200 offers a good balance between
noise and dynamic range. Choose [L100] or [L80] for larger apertures (higher
f-numbers) or slower shutter speeds. [L80] is equivalent to ISO 80, [L100] to
ISO 100.
[L80] and [L100] are available at all exposure step values.
[L80] and [L100] reduce dynamic range.
