L64, L100,
200–25600
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.
• Combining values over ISO 8000 with settings that use an electronic shutter (for example,
silent mode or focus bracketing) sets the fl ash sync speed to 1/20 s.
• Regardless of the value selected for ISO sensitivity, the fl ash sync speed for photos taken
using ISO bracketing in silent mode is 1/20 s.
