ISO Sensitivity
The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an image, allowing
capturing darker subjects. Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness,
pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by camera
shake and subject movement can be reduced.
• Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects, shooting
without the flash, shooting while using the zoom, etc., images may contain noise.
The current ISO sensitivity setting is indicated by an icon when shooting (A6).
• 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.
• When Fixed range auto is selected, U and the maximum value of ISO
sensitivity is displayed.
B Notes About ISO sensitivity
• There are functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See “Functions That Cannot Be
Applied Simultaneously” (A62) for more information.
• Motion detection (E57) does not function when the ISO sensitivity is set to any setting other
than Auto.
B ISO 3200
When ISO sensitivity is set to 3200, the available Image mode
settings are limited to r 2272×1704, q 1600×1200, and O
640×480. X is displayed next to the ISO sensitivity indicator in the
bottom left of the monitor.

Option Description
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 80 when there is sufficient lighting; the
camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of
ISO 1600 when lighting is dim.
Fixed range auto
Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts
ISO sensitivity from ISO 80-400 (default setting) and ISO 80-
800. The camera will not increase sensitivity beyond the
maximum value in the selected range. Specify the maximum
ISO sensitivity for effective control over the amount of “grain”
that appears in images.
80, 100, 200, 400, 800,
1600, 3200
Sensitivity is locked at the specified value.
