Four camera sensitivity settings can be selected with a still image: Auto, 64, 100, 200,
400; the numerical values are based on an ISO equivalent. ISO is the standard used to
indicate film sensitivity: the higher the number, the more sensitive the film. Sensitivity can
be changed in the section 1 of the recording-mode menu.
The auto setting automatically adjusts the camera sensitivity
to the light conditions between ISO 64 and ISO 200. When
any other setting than auto is used, “ISO” and the set value
will appear on the LCD monitor.
A specific sensitivity setting can be selected. As the ISO
value doubles, the camera sensitivity doubles. Like grain in
silver-halide film that increases with speed, noise increases
with the sensitivity in digital imaging; an ISO setting of 64 will
have the least noise and 400 will have the most.

FLASH RANGE AND 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.
