Five camera sensitivity settings can be selected with a still image: Auto, 50, 100, 200,
400; the numerical values are based on an ISO equivalent; the higher the number, the
more sensitive the film. Sensitivity can be changed in section 2 of the recording menu (p.
40). This cannot be changed with movie recording or digital subject programs. Sensitivity
can be assigned to the controller (p. 45).

FLASH RANGE AND CAMERA SENSITIVITY
Because of the optical system, the flash range is not the same at the lens’ wide-angle
position as it is at the telephoto position.

Flash range (telephoto)
The auto setting automatically adjusts the camera
sensitivity to the light conditions between ISO 50 and ISO
160. When any other setting than auto is used, “ISO” and
the set value appear on the LCD monitor.
A specific sensitivity setting can be selected. As the ISO
value doubles, the camera sensitivity doubles. Like grain
in silver-halide film that increases with speed, noise
increases with the sensitivity in digital imaging; an ISO
setting of 50 has the least noise and 400 has the most.
Noise reduction is applied automatically to exposures of one second or longer. Processing is
applied to each image after it is captured. The processing time varies from image to image; a
processing message is displayed during this period.
