Changing ISO sensitivity (ISO)
Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs to be
taken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations is [AUTO],
which starts at ISO 200—a value that balances noise and dynamic range—and then
adjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.
1 Set the
Fn lever to the position 2, and rotate the front dial to select a value.
• Exposure compensation can be adjusted by rotating the front dial in M mode.
AUTO
The sensitivity is set automatically according to the shooting
conditions. The upper limit of ISO sensitivity and the shutter
speed to start raising the sensitivity can be set with [ISO-Auto
Set] in Custom menu (P. 117).
LOW, 200–25600 The sensitivity is set to the selected value.
Adjusting color ( WB (white balance))
White balance (WB) ensures that white objects in images recorded by the camera
appear white. [AUTO] is suitable in most circumstances, but other values can be
selected according to the light source when [AUTO] fails to produce the desired results
or you wish to introduce a deliberate color cast into your images.
1 Set the
Fn lever to the position 2, and rotate the rear dial to select a value.
• ISO sensitivity can be adjusted by rotating the rear dial in M mode.
