Sensitivity
“Sensitivity” refers to the camera’s sensitivity to light. Choose from values between 200 and 6400, or
select
L (100)
,
H (12800)
, or
H (25600)
for special situations. Higher values can be used to reduce
blur when lighting is poor, while lower values allow slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright
light; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at
H (25600)
, while choosing
L (100)
reduces dynamic range. Values of from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 are
recommended in most situations. If
AUTO1
,
AUTO2
, or
AUTO3
is selected, the camera will adjust
sensitivity automatically in response to shooting conditions.
