ISO is a measure of sensitivity to light. The
higher the sensitivity is set, the less light is
needed to take a picture so the camera
becomes more suitable for recording in dark
places.
• When setting to [AUTO], the ISO sensitivity
is automatically adjusted to a maximum of
[ISO200] according to the brightness. (It can
be adjusted to a maximum of [ISO640] when
using the flash.)
• To avoid picture noises, we recommend
reducing the ISO sensitivity, setting
[NOISE REDUCTION] in [PICT.ADJ.] to
[HIGH] or setting the items except
[NOISE REDUCTION] to [LOW] to take
pictures.
