ISO

Adjusts the luminous sensitivity when the camera is set to Program Auto or [Underwater] is selected in Scene Selection. In movie mode, [ISO] is fixed to [Auto]. You cannot change the settings.

MENU (ISO) desired mode

	(Auto)	Sets the ISO sensitivity automatically.
	////////	You can reduce image blurring in dark locations or with moving subjects by increasing the ISO sensitivity (select a larger number). Higher ISO settings than [ISO6400] are achieved using Clear Image technology and overlay burst shooting.

Adjusting ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index)

ISO sensitivity is a speed rating for recording media that incorporates an image sensor that receives light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO sensitivity.

High ISO sensitivity

Records a bright image even in dark locations while increasing shutter speed to reduce blur.

However, the image tends to become noisy.

Low ISO sensitivity

Records a smoother image.

However, when the exposure is insufficient, the image may become darker.

Note

When [ISO] is set to [ISO6400] or [ISO12800], it takes some time to record an image, because the camera overlays the image. The flash does not operate with these settings.
