Adjusting ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure 
Index)
ISO sensitivity is a speed rating for recording media that incorporates an image sensor that 
receives light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO 
sensitivity.
High ISO sensitivity
Records a bright image even in dark locations while increasing shutter 
speed to reduce blur.
However, the image tends to become noisy.
Low ISO sensitivity
Records a smoother image.
However, when the exposure is insufficient, the image may become 
darker.

Hints for preventing blur
Even though the camera is steady, the subject moves during the exposure and is captured 
blurred when the shutter button is pressed. Camera shake is reduced automatically, 
however, the function does not effectively reduce subject blur.
Subject blur occurs frequently under low-light or slow shutter speed conditions. In such a 
case, shoot with the below tips in mind.
• Select a higher ISO sensitivity to make the shutter 
speed faster, and press the shutter button before the 
subject moves.
• Select 
 (High Sensitivity) mode in Scene 
Selection.
