[SENSITIVITY]
For details on [REC] menu settings, refer to P21.
ISO sensitivity represents the sensitivity of the image sensor to light. If you set the ISO
sensitivity higher, the camera becomes more suitable for recording in dark places.
Applicable modes:
1
[i.AUTO]/[80]/[100]/[200]/[400]/[800]/[1000]
ISO sensitivity 80 1000
Recording location (recommended) When it is light (outdoors) When it is dark
Shutter speed Slow Fast
Noise Less More
Note
• When setting to [i.AUTO], the camera detects movement of the subject and then sets the
optimal ISO sensitivity and shutter speed according to movement and brightness of the
subject. When the Digital zoom is [ON], the motion detection does not function.
• The ISO sensitivity automatically changes between [ISO1600] and [ISO6400] in [HIGH SENS.]
mode.
• To avoid picture noise we recommend reducing the ISO sensitivity or setting [COLOR MODE]
to [NATURAL]. (P
