Sensitivity can be set to ISO 100, 200, 400, or 800 equivalent or AUTO. If AUTO is selected, the camera will automatically raise sensitivity above the default value when lighting is poor. To select a setting for sensitivity, first button and rotate the command dial select P, S, A, or M mode. Press the to cycle through settings as shown below. The current setting is displayed in the monitor. Beyond Point-and-Shoot--Sensitivity (ISO Equivalency) + ISO 100 200 400 800 AUTO When sensitivity is set to AUTO, an ISO icon will appear in the monitor when sensitivity is above ISO 100 equivalent. In manual and shutter-priority auto exposure modes, AUTO is equivalent to a setting of 100, and sensitivity will not be raised when lighting is poor. ISO 200 and Above The higher the sensitivity, the more likely your pictures are to be affected by "noise" in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly-colored pixels. We recommend that you choose a setting of 100 except when high shutter speeds are required. When 800 is selected, the ISO indicator in the monitor will turn red to indicate that pictures taken at this setting will likely contain appreciable amounts of noise. We recommend that Image Sharpening ( 105) be turned off at this setting to avoid heightening the effects of noise. A setting of 800 is recommended only to capture natural lighting under low light conditions or when a fast shutter speed is required to avoid blur. 70 Keep or Delete Picture Review When image quality is set to HI, or when Ultra HS or Movie is selected in the Continuous menu, the picture you have just taken will be displayed briefly in the monitor after each shot, giving you the opportunity to delete the picture before it has been recorded to the memory card.
