The Shooting Menu

Sensitivity (ISO equivalency) is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to 
light.  The higher the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure.  
Much as fi lm with a high ISO rating tends to produce “grainy” images, high 
sensitivities may however be associated with “noise”—randomly spaced, 
brightly colored pixels concentrated in dark parts of the image.

Equivalent to 50 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and fl ash is 
off (

), camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 200.  

ISO icon displayed in monitor to warn that pictures may be affected by noise.

Approximately equivalent to ISO 50.  Recommended unless lighting is poor or 
faster shutter speeds are required (e.g., when the subject is moving).  Noise 
may appear in pictures taken at settings above this value.

100 Approximately equivalent to ISO 100.
200 Approximately equivalent to ISO 200.
400 Approximately equivalent to ISO 400.

Color options are used to heighten the vividness of colors or to record pictures 
in monochrome.  The effects can be previewed in the monitor.

Subjects are recorded in their natural colors.

Use for a vivid, photoprint effect.
