Sensitivity is a measure of the camera’s response to light. The higher the sensitivity, 
the less light is needed to expose an image. Although high ISO sensitivity settings 
are suited to pictures of moving subjects or those taken under dim lighting, high 
sensitivity settings are often associated with “noise”—randomly spaced, brightly 
colored pixels— concentrated in dark portions of images.

At the settings other than 

Auto, the current setting is displayed in the monitor 

(

A 11). If 

Auto is selected and the sensitivity is raised above ISO 80, the E icon 

will be displayed (

Sensitivity is ISO 80 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor, the camera 
compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600.

Fixed range auto

Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity, from 

ISO 80-400 or ISO 80-800. The camera will not increase sensitivity beyond the 
maximum value in the selected range. Set the maximum value for ISO sensitivity for 
effective control over the amount of “grain” that appears in images.
