ISO Speed
This setting adjusts the sensitivity of the camera to light.
When ISO Speed is set to the default Auto setting, the
camera selects the best ISO speed for the scene.
Lower ISO speeds capture images with the least amount of
grain (or noise), but result in slower shutter speeds. If taking
a picture in low light conditions without a flash at ISO 100 or
below, use a tripod.
Higher ISO numbers allow faster shutter speeds, and can be
used when taking pictures in dark areas without a flash, or
when taking pictures of fast moving objects. Higher ISO
speeds produce pictures with more grain (or noise) and,
therefore, can be of lower quality.
1. In the Capture Menu (see
page 62), select ISO Speed.
2. Use the buttons to highlight
a setting.
3. Press to save the setting and
return to the Capture Menu.
If the new setting is anything other than the default, the icon
for the setting will appear in the Live View screen.
The ISO Speed setting remains in effect until it is changed
again, or until you turn the camera off. To save changed
settings, use My Mode (see page 56).
NOTE: The ISO Speed setting does not apply in Theatre
mode nor when recording video clips.
