Option Description

ISO Auto

The camera automatically adjusts the

sensitivity according to the shootingscene.

ValueThe ISO sensitivity is fixed to theselected value.

In the ISO setting, although smaller values result inless sensitivity, sharp images can be taken under fullylit conditions. Larger values result in higher sensitivity,and images can be taken at fast shutter speeds evenunder low light conditions. However, high sensitivity

introduces noise into the resulting picture, which maygive it a grainy appearance.

Select a picture mode and make individual adjustments tocontrast, sharpness, and other parameters. Changes to

each picture mode are stored separately.
