∫ About [ ] (Intelligent ISO sensitivity control)
The camera automatically sets the optimum ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to suit the
movement of the subject, i.e. to ensure its sharpest possible rendition, and also the
brightness of the scene.
•
The shutter speed is not fixed when the shutter button is pressed halfway. It is continuously
changing to match the movement of the subject until the shutter button is pressed fully. Confirm
the actual shutter speed on the information display for the picture being played back.
Note
•
The higher the value set for the ISO sensitivity, the sharper moving subjects can be rendered,
but the greater the amount of picture noise.
• Refer to P72 for the flash range.
• Depending on the brightness and how fast the subject is moving, unsharp rendition may not be
avoided even if [ ] is selected.
• Movements may not be detected when a moving subject is small, when a moving subject is at
the edge of the screen or when a subject has moved at the very moment when the shutter
button was pressed fully.
• The setting is fixed to [ ] in the following cases.
– In [INDOOR PORTRAIT] in [PORTRAIT]
– In [SPORTS]
– [BABY1]/[BABY2], [PET] and [FLASH BURST] in Scene Mode
• Program Shift cannot be activated when the ISO sensitivity is set to [ ].
• You cannot select [ ] in Shutter-Priority Mode and Manual Exposure Mode.
• To avoid picture noise, we recommend reducing the ISO sensitivity, setting
[NOISE REDUCTION] in [FILM MODE] towards [_] or setting the items except
[NOISE REDUCTION] towards [`] to take pictures. (P119)
