Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips 65
ISO Speed
NOTE This setting does not apply when recording video clips.
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 the best quality 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 , 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
pictures of fast moving objects. Higher ISO speeds produce
pictures with more grain (or noise) and, thus, can be of lower
quality.

select ISO Speed .

the buttons to highlight a
setting.
3
Press Menu/OK to save the
setting and return to the Capture
Menu .
If the setting is anything other than the default Auto setting, the
number value for the setting will appear in the Live View
screen.
Except in
My Mode (page 52), the new setting remains in
effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off.
The ISO Speed setting resets to the default Auto setting when
you turn the camera off.
