Continuous Shooting
You can select the type of continuous shooting. See "Continuous Shooting
(Options)" (
A55) for more information.
ISO Sensitivity
The higher the ISO sensitivity, the less light needed for taking pictures.
The higher the ISO sensitivity, the darker the subject that can be shot. Additionally,
even with subjects of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds,
and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be reduced.
• Setting the ISO sensitivity to a high level is effective when shooting dark
subjects, not using the flash, shooting at the telephoto zoom position and
similar situations, but the pictures taken may be slightly grainy.
The icon for the current setting is displayed on the monitor during shooting ( A6).
• When Auto is selected, the E icon is not displayed at ISO 125, but is displayed
if the ISO sensitivity automatically increases to more than ISO 125 ( A26).
• When Fixed range auto is selected, the U icon and the maximum ISO
sensitivity value are displayed.
