A larger value indicates higher sensitivity, which is better for recording when available lighting is dim. IMPORTANT!· Under certain conditions, a high shutter speed in combination with a high ISO sensitivity setting can cause digital noise (graininess), which makes an image appear rough. For clean, good-quality images, use the lowest ISO sensitivity setting possible. · Using a high ISO sensitivity setting along with the flash to shoot a nearby subject may result in improper illumination of the subject. · "Auto" ISO sensitivity always is used for movie recording, regardless of the current ISO sensitivity setting. NOTE · You can use the key customization feature (page 119) to configure the camera so the ISO sensitivity setting changes whenever you press [ ] and [ ] while in a REC mode. 1. Select the "Quality" tab, select "ISO", and then press [ ]. 3. Use [ ] and [ ] to select the setting you want and then press [SET]. To get this: Automatic sensitivity selection Lower sensitivity Select this setting: Auto ISO 50 ISO 100 ISO 200 Higher sensitivity ISO 400 123 OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS Selecting the Metering Mode The metering mode determines what part of the subject is metered for exposure. You can use the following procedure to change the camera's metering mode. 1. Select the "Quality" tab, select "Metering", and then press [ ]. 3. Use [ ] and [ ] to select the setting you want, and then press [SET]. Multi (Multi pattern) Multi (Multi pattern) metering divides the image into sections and measures the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading. The camera automatically determines shooting conditions according to the measured lighting pattern, and makes exposure settings accordingly. This type of metering provides error-free exposure settings for a wide range of shooting conditions. Center Weighted Center weighted metering measures light concentrating on the center of the focus area. Use this metering method when you want to exert some control over exposure, without leaving settings totally up to the camera. 124 OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS Spot Spot metering takes readings at a very small area. Use this metering method when you want exposure to be set according to the brightness of a particular subject, without it being affected by surrounding conditions. · When "Multi" is selected as the metering mode, certain procedures cause the metering mode setting to change automatically as described below.
