Specifying ISO Sensitivity
You can change the ISO sensitivity setting for better
images in places where lighting is dim or when you are
using faster shutter speeds.
• ISO sensitivity is expressed in terms of values that
originally indicated the sensitivity to light for photographic
film. A larger value indicates higher sensitivity, which is
better for recording when available lighting is dim.

IMPORTANT!
• Under certain conditions, a high shutter speed in
combination with a high ISO sensitivity setting can
cause digital noise, which makes an image appear
rough. For clean, good-quality images, use the
lowest possible ISO sensitivity setting possible.
• Using a high ISO sensitivity setting along with the
flash to shoot a nearby subject may result in
improper illumination of the subject.
NOTE
• You can use key customization (page 104) to
configure the camera so the ISO sensitivity setting
changes whenever you press [
] and [
] while in the
REC mode.
