ISO Sensitivity
Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the
sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Although a high ISO rating
is suited for taking pictures of subjects in action or in poor lighting, high sensitivity
is often associated with “noise” - randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels
concentrated in dark parts of the image.
At the settings other than
Auto
, the current setting is displayed in the monitor
(
A
9). If
Auto
is selected and the sensitivity is raised above ISO 64,
E
icon will
be displayed (

High ISO sensitivity auto
is selected,
