E36Reference SectionISO SensitivityHigher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally, evenwith subjects of similar brightness, images can be taken at faster shutterspeeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can bereduced.• When higher ISO sensitivity is set, images may contain noise.C ISO Sensitivity Display on the Shooting Screen• When Auto is selected, E is displayed if the ISO sensitivity automaticallyincreases.• When ISO 100-400 or ISO 100-800 is selected, the maximum value for ISOsensitivity is displayed.B Notes About ISO Sensitivity• In m (manual) mode, when set to Auto, ISO 100-400 or ISO 100-800, the ISOsensitivity is fixed at ISO 100.• The setting may not be changed when using certain settings of other functions.Rotate the mode dial to j, k, l, m or M M d button M j, k, l, m orM tab (A13) M ISO sensitivityOption DescriptionISO sensitivity• Auto (default setting):ISO sensitivity is automatically adjusted within a rangefrom ISO 100 to 1600.• Fixed range auto:The range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISOsensitivity can be selected from Y ISO 100-400 or ZISO 100-800.• 100 to 6400:ISO sensitivity is fixed at the specified value.Minimum shutterspeedSet the shutter speed at which ISO sensitivity starts to beautomatically adjusted when the shooting mode is j or l.If the exposure is insufficient with the shutter speed that is sethere, the ISO sensitivity is increased automatically to obtainthe correct exposure.• The setting is enabled when ISO sensitivity is set to Autoor Fixed range auto.• If the exposure is still insufficient even after ISO sensitivity isincreased, the shutter speed slows down.• Default setting: None
