• In the S (shutter speed priority) mode, ISO sensitivity always operates
according to its “AUTO” setting. The ISO sensitivity setting cannot be changed
while in the S mode.
• The current ISO sensitivity setting is used when shooting a high speed movie
in the M (manual exposure) mode. For all other types of movies, “AUTO” is
used as the ISO sensitivity setting.
• “
S
Image AS” (page 92) can be used only when the ISO sensitivity setting is
“AUTO”.
• Higher ISO sensitivity values tend to result in digital noise in images.
• Since higher ISO sensitivity values tend to result in digital noise in images, the
camera performs a noise filtering process. Because of this, it may take
relatively longer for the camera to finish recording an image after it is shot. You
will not be able to perform any key operation while image recording is in
progress.
