M ISO Sensitivity
Sensitivity is a measure of the camera’s response to light. The higher the sensitivity,
the less light is needed to expose an image. Although high ISO sensitivity settings
are suited to pictures of moving subjects or those taken under dim lighting, high
sensitivity settings are often associated with “noise”- randomly spaced, brightly
colored pixels - concentrated in dark portions of images.
The following options are available.
When the ISO sensitivity setting is set to any option other than a Auto, motion
detection (
A 34) is disabled.

ISO Sensitivity Setting
The ISO sensitivity setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the
camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) is selected.
a Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 80 when there is sufficient lighting; the camera compensates by
raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800 when lighting is poor.
Z Fixed range auto
Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity, from
y ISO 80-200 or z ISO 80-400. The camera will not raise sensitivity beyond the
maximum value in the selected range. Set the maximum value for ISO sensitivity for
effective control over the amount of “grain” that appears in images.
80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400
Sensitivity is locked at the specified value.
