Selecting an ISO Sensitivity
1. Press the +/- button, and then use the UP and DOWN
buttons to select the ISO icon( ). The ISO menu bar
will appear as shown.
2. Use the LEFT and RIGHT buttons to select the desired
ISO sensitivity value.
- AUTO : The camera's sensitivity is automatically
changed by variables such as lighting
value or subject brightness.
- 100, 200, 400 : You can increase the shutter speed while the same amount of light is
present, by increasing the ISO sensitivity. However, the image may be
saturated in high luminance. The higher the ISO value, the higher the
camera’s sensitivity to light is and therefore the greater its capacity to take
pictures in dark conditions. However, the noise level in the image will
increase as the ISO value increases, making the image appear coarse.
3. When you press the +/- button again, the value you set will be saved and ISO setup mode
will end.
ISO: You can select the ISO sensitivity when taking pictures.
