• The current ISO sensitivity setting is used when shooting a high speed movie
in the
M
(manual exposure) mode. For all other types of movies, “AUTO” is
used as the ISO sensitivity setting.
• “
S
Image AS” (page 95) can be used only when the ISO sensitivity setting is
“AUTO”.
• An ISO setting of ISO 400 or greater is not supported when the “Image Size”
setting is “RAW+”. If the ISO setting is “ISO 400” or greater when you change
the “Image Size” setting to “RAW+”, an ISO setting of “ISO 200” will be used for
recording.
• Higher ISO sensitivity values tend to result in digital noise in images.
• Since higher ISO sensitivity values tend to result in digital noise in images, the
camera performs a noise filtering process. Because of this, it may take
relatively longer for the camera to finish recording an image after it is shot. You
will not be able to perform any key operation while image recording is in
progress.
