This camera automatically adjusts the exposure according to the
ambient lighting conditions. You can also select the exposure value
by using the [EV] menu.

Shooting menu to select [EV] (

2. Use the Left and Right buttons to set
the desired exposure compensation
factor.

set will be saved and the Exposure Compensation setup mode
will be closed. If you change the exposure value, the exposure
indicator (

Note that a positive exposure compensation value increases the
exposure and the LCD monitor will appear white or you may not
get good pictures.
ISO
[Auto] : The camera's sensitivity is
automatically changed by
variables such as lighting value
or subject brightness.
[ISO 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200] :
You can increase the shutter speed while
the same amount of light is present, by increasing the ISO sensitivity.
However, the image may be saturated in high luminance. The higher
the ISO value, the higher the camera’s sensitivity to light and therefore
the greater its capacity to take pictures in dark conditions. However,
the noise level in the image will increase as the ISO value increases,
making the image appear coarse.
Ä
When [Motion Capture] is set, ISO speed will be set to Auto.
Ä
[ISO] is enabled only in [Program] mode.
Ä
When the ISO 3200 menu is selected, the image size is
fi
xed to
under 3M.
You can select the ISO sensitivity when taking pictures.The speed or
speci
fi
c light-sensitivity of a camera is rated by ISO numbers.
