∫ About [ ] (Intelligent ISO sensitivity control)
The camera automatically sets the optimum ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to suit the
movement of the subject and brightness of the scene to minimise the jitter of the subject.
•
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 more the jitter is reduced but the greater the
amount of picture noise.
• Refer to P74 for the flash range.
• Depending on the brightness and how fast the subject is moving, jitter 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 [SPORTS],[BABY1]/[BABY2] and [PET] in Scene Mode
• Programme Shift cannot be activated when the ISO sensitivity is set to [ ].
• You cannot select [ ] in Shutter-Priority AE Mode and Manual Exposure Mode. Also, you
cannot select [AUTO] in Manual Exposure Mode.
• If picture noise becomes a problem, we recommend that you take pictures after lowering the ISO
sensitivity level, increasing the setting for [NOISE REDUCTION] under [PICTURE ADJUST], or
lowering the setting for each of the items other than [NOISE REDUCTION]. (P137)
• When the [DIRECT FOCUS AREA] (P90) is set to [ON], operation of the cursor button is
assigned to movement of the AF area. In such a case, assign the [SENSITIVITY] as the menu
item of the Quick Menu (P58) and perform the operation.
