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 will 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, you may want to use a tripod. In contrast,
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 (page 61),
select ISO Speed.
2. In the ISO Speed sub-menu, use
the buttons to highlight a
setting.
3. Press the button to save the
setting and return to the Capture
Menu.
If the new setting is anything other than the default Auto
setting, 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 it resets to the default Auto setting when you
turn the camera off. To save changed settings, use My Mode
(see page 55).
NOTE: The ISO Speed setting does not apply when
recording video clips.
