Taking Photographs—Sensitivity (ISO Equivalency)
“Sensitivity” is the digital equivalent of fi lm speed. The higher the sensitivity,
the less light needed to make an exposure, allowing higher shutter speeds
or smaller apertures.
Sensitivity can be set between values roughly equivalent to ISO 200 and ISO
1600 in steps equivalent to
1
/3 EV. Sensitivity can be adjusted using the ISO
option in the shooting menu or by pressing the ISO button and rotating the
main command dial.
