[ SENSITIVITY]
Setting the light sensitivity
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.
When setting to [AUTO], the ISO
sensitivity is automatically adjusted to a
maximum of [ISO400] according to the
brightness. (When using the fl ash, the
adjustment range becomes a maximum
of [ISO1000].)
ISO sensitivity 100 1600

The ISO sensitivity automatically changes
between [ISO1600] and [ISO6400] in
[HIGH SENS.] mode.
To avoid picture noise we recommend
reducing the ISO sensitivity, setting the
[NOISE REDUCTION] of [PICT.ADJ.] to
high level or setting each of the items other
than [NOISE REDUCTION] to low level.
ISO sensitivity cannot be set when the
intelligent ISO is used.
In manual exposure mode, [AUTO]
cannot be selectable.
