E ISO Sensitivity

Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the
sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Although a high ISO rating
is suited for taking pictures of subjects in action or in poor lighting, high sensitivity
is often associated with “noise” - randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels
concentrated in dark parts of the image.

The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (

A 8). When Auto is

selected, the E icon is not displayed at ISO 80, but is displayed if the ISO
sensitivity automatically increases to more than 80 (

A 30).

Sensitivity is ISO 80 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is
off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800.

Sensitivity will be locked at the specified value.
When ISO sensitivity is locked, Motion detection (A 104) does not function.
