Optimising the ISO sensitivity for the shutter speed and aperture
value
When the ISO sensitivity is set to [AUTO], the camera sets the ISO sensitivity
automatically so that the exposure will be appropriate for the shutter speed and aperture
value.
•Depending on recording conditions, an appropriate exposure may not be set or the ISO
sensitivity may become higher.
