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

speed or increase aperture value.

speed or reduce aperture value.
