You can adjust the ISO sensitivity and switch the Zone Matching setup.
ISO is a unit of measurement of sensitivity to light. The larger the number, the higher the
sensitivity.
1 Display the ISO/Zone Matching screen with the function dial and the Fn button (page 43).
2 Select the desired value with v/V/b/B on the controller, then press the center of the controller.
[Hi200] and [Lo80] options are used for Zone Matching (page 45).
( : The default setting)
When [ISO] is set to [AUTO], the ISO sensitivity is automatically adjusted between ISO 100 and ISO
800, however, if the mode dial is set to M, it is fixed at ISO 100.
The built-in flash range (the range within which the correct exposure is provided) depends on the aperture
value and ISO sensitivity. Refer to the following table to determine the shooting distance.
