Auto ISO Sensitivity Control
In modes P, S, A, and M, auto ISO
sensitivity control can be enabled or
disabled by holding the S button and
rotating the sub-command dial. When
auto ISO sensitivity control is enabled,
ISO sensitivity will automatically be
adjusted if optimal exposure cannot be
achieved at the value selected with the
S button and main command dial. To
prevent ISO sensitivity going too high,
you can choose an upper limit of from
ISO 100 (Z 7) or 200 (Z 6) to Hi 2 using the
ISO sensitivity settings > Maximum sensitivity item in the
photo shooting menu.
When auto ISO sensitivity control is enabled, the shooting
display will show ISO AUTO and control panel ISO-A. When
sensitivity is altered from the value selected by the user, the
altered value is shown in the display.
Monitor Control panel
D Auto ISO Sensitivity Control
If the ISO sensitivity selected by the user is higher than that chosen for
Maximum sensitivity when auto ISO sensitivity control is enabled,
the value selected by the user will be used instead. When a flash is
used, shutter speed will be restricted to values between the speed
selected for Custom Setting e1 (Flash sync speed) and the speed
selected for Custom Setting e2 (Flash shutter speed).
