Changing ISO sensitivity (ISO)
Select a value according to subject brightness. Higher values let you photograph
darker scenes but also increase image “noise” (mottling). Select [AUTO] to let the
camera adjust sensitivity according to lighting conditions.
ISO sensitivity is xed at [AUTO] during movie recording when [P], [A], or [S] is selected
for [n Mode] (movie exposure mode). Setting [n Mode] to [M] allows other options to be
selected.
1
Press the ISO button, and rotate the front or rear dial to select a value.
AUTO
Sensitivity is adjusted automatically according to shooting conditions.
Use [K ISO-Auto Set] (P. 191) in G Custom Menu T to choose
the maximum sensitivity selected by the camera and the shutter
speed at which auto sensitivity control takes effect during still
photography.
During movie recording, ISO sensitivity will be set to values of
from ISO 200 to 6400. When [M] is selected for [n Mode] (movie
exposure mode), auto ISO sensitivity control can be enabled by
selecting [On] for [b ISO-Auto Set] (P. 161) > [b ISO-Auto].
You can also choose maximum and standard values for ISO
sensitivity.
L64, L100,
200–25600
(still photography)
Choose a value for ISO sensitivity. ISO 200 offers a good balance
between noise and dynamic range. Choose [L100] or [L64] for larger
apertures (higher f-numbers) or slower shutter speeds. [L64] is
equivalent to ISO 64, [L100] to ISO 100.
[L64] and [L100] are available at all exposure step values.
[L64] and [L100] reduce dynamic range.
200–6400
(movie recording)
Choose a value for [n ISO]. ISO 200 offers a good balance between
noise and dynamic range. This option is available when [M] is
selected for [n Mode] (movie exposure mode).
Combining values over ISO 8000 with settings that use an electronic shutter (for example,
silent mode or focus bracketing) sets the ash sync speed to 1/20 s.
Regardless of the value selected for ISO sensitivity, the ash sync speed for photos taken
using ISO bracketing in silent mode is 1/20 s.
When [M] is selected for [n Mode] (movie exposure mode), ISO sensitivity can be
adjusted during recording using touch controls (P. 61) or by rotating the front or rear
dial.
If [Dramatic Tone] or [Watercolor] is chosen for picture mode during still photography,
sensitivity will not exceed ISO 1600 when [AUTO] is selected.
