A Live View
In live view, the selected value is displayed in the monitor.
A ISO Sensitivity
The higher the ISO sensitivity, the less light needed to make an
exposure, allowing faster shutter speeds or smaller apertures, but the
more likely the image is to be affected by noise (randomly-spaced
bright pixels, fog, or lines). Noise is particularly likely at settings
between Hi 0.3 and Hi 5.
A Hi 0.3–Hi 5
The settings Hi 0.3 through Hi 5 correspond to ISO sensitivities 0.3–
5 EV over ISO 51200 (ISO 64000–1640000 equivalent).
A Lo 0.3–Lo 1
The settings Lo 0.3 through Lo 1 correspond to ISO sensitivities 0.3–
1 EV below ISO 100 (ISO 80–50 equivalent). Use for larger apertures
when lighting is bright. Contrast is slightly higher than normal; in most
cases, ISO sensitivities of ISO 100 or above are recommended.
