Using the Menu
The Shooting Menu (j, k, l, or m Mode)
ISO Sensitivity
A higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally, even with
subjects of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and
blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be reduced.
• When a higher ISO sensitivity is set, images may contain noise.
B Notes About ISO Sensitivity
• In m (manual) mode, when set to Auto, ISO 100-400, or ISO 100-800, the ISO sensitivity
is fixed at ISO 100.
• This function may not be available to use in combination with other functions (A75).
C ISO Sensitivity Display on the Shooting Screen
• When Auto is selected, E is displayed when the ISO sensitivity increases.
• When ISO 100-400 or ISO 100-800 is selected, the maximum value for ISO
sensitivity is displayed.
