ISO Sensitivity

When exposure mode P, S, or A is selected in movie mode, the camera adjusts

ISO sensitivity automatically. You can, however, choose the upper limit to pre-

vent the camera choosing too high a value. In exposure mode M, you also have

the option of adjusting ISO sensitivity manually.

 Exposure Modes P, S, and A

The camera adjusts ISO sensitivity automatically in response to shooting

conditions, choosing from values of from ISO 64 to (at default settings)

Hi2. The current value is displayed in the monitor and control panel.

 Exposure Mode M

When the camera is in movie mode, you can enable or disable auto ISO

sensitivity control by keeping the S button pressed and rotating the

sub-command dial; the display shows ISO AUTO when auto ISO sensitiv-

ity control is enabled and ISO when it is disabled. When auto ISO sensi-

tivity control is disabled, ISO sensitivity can be manually set to values be-

tween ISO 64 and Hi 2 by keeping the S button pressed while rotating

the main command dial. Current ISO sensitivity settings are displayed in

the monitor and control panel.

ISO sensitivity can also be adjusted using the ISO sensitivity settings item in the movie shooting

menu. Use Auto ISO control (mode M) to enable or disable auto ISO sensitivity control and ISO sen-

sitivity (mode M) to choose the value used when auto ISO sensitivity control is disabled.

 Maximum Sensitivity

To prevent auto ISO sensitivity control setting ISO sensitivity too high,

you can use the ISO sensitivity settings> Maximum sensitivity option

in the movie shooting menu to select an upper limit. Choose from val-

ues between ISO 200 and Hi 2. The selected setting applies in modes P,

S, and A and when auto ISO sensitivity control is enabled in mode M.

Auto ISO Sensitivity Control

At high ISO sensitivities, the camera may have diculty focusing and noise (randomly-spaced bright

pixels, fog, or lines) may increase. This can be prevented by choosing a lower value for ISO sensitivity

settings> Maximum sensitivity in the movie shooting menu.
