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
(
6). If [Auto] is selected and the sensitivity is raised above ISO 64, the
E
icon will
be displayed (
29).
F
Color Options
Make colors more vivid or record pictures in monochrome.
The effects of the selected option can be previewed in the monitor. At settings
other than [Standard color], the icon for the current setting is displayed in the
monitor (
6).
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 64 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is
off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1000.
64,100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 2000
Sensitivity will be locked at the specified value.
