Five camera sensitivity settings can be selected with a still image.
The auto setting automatically adjusts the camera sensitivity to the
light conditions between ISO 50 and ISO 200. The camera sensitivity
can also be specified among ISO 50, 100, 200, and 400. The numer-
ical values are based on an ISO equivalent. As the ISO value dou-
bles, the camera sensitivity doubles. Noise increases with the sensi-
tivity in digital imaging; the ISO setting of 50 has the least noise and
400 has the most.

The sensitivity of the camera can be change
d
in the manual recording mode with the menu. To
change recording modes, see page 34.
On the manual recording menu, select the camera sensitivity setting.
See page 36 for menu operation. If a manual ISO setting is selected,
an indicator is displayed on the monitor.

The flash range changes with camera sensitivity. Because of the optical system, the flash range is
not the same at the lens’ wide-angle position as it is at the telephoto position.
