[. . . ] ([ISO400] when the flash is used) About [ ] (Intelligent ISO sensitivity control) The camera automatically sets the optimum ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to suit the movement of the subject and brightness of the scene to minimise the jitter of the subject. The shutter speed is not fixed when the shutter button is pressed halfway. It is continuously changing to match the movement of the subject until the shutter button is pressed fully. Confirm the actual shutter speed on the information display for the picture being played back. 80 VQT1U44 Advanced (Recording pictures) Note The higher the value set for the ISO sensitivity, the more the jitter is reduced but the greater the amount of picture noise. Refer to P61 for the flash range. Depending on the brightness and how fast the subject is moving, jitter may not be avoided even if [ ] is selected.
