You can reduce image blurring in dark locations or with moving subjects by
increasing the ISO sensitivity (select a larger number).
Higher ISO settings than [ISO4000] are achieved using Clear Image
technology and overlay burst shooting.
The ISO numbers in the table above are the representative value.
Turning the jog dial increases or decreases the ISO sensitivity by increments of 1/3 as follows:
ISO80
ISO100
ISO125
ISO160
ISO200 ... ISO12800
Adjusting ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index)
ISO sensitivity is a speed rating for recording media that incorporates an image sensor that receives
light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO sensitivity.
High ISO sensitivity
Records a bright image even in dark locations while increasing shutter speed to reduce blur.
However, the image tends to become noisy.
Low ISO sensitivity
Records a smoother image.
However, when the exposure is insufficient, the image may become darker.
