ISO SENSITIVITY

The ISO setting covers a range between ISO 50 and 50000,

allowing you to adapt to the relevant situation as required.

Factory setting: Auto ISOAuto ISO

AUTOMATIC SETTING: Auto ISOAuto ISO

The camera automatically adjusts the sensitivity to ambient

brightness and/or to the conﬁgured shutter speed/aperture

settings combination. In conjunction with aperture priority mode,

this function extends the range for automatic exposure control.

LIMITING SETTING RANGES

A max. ISO value can be set, which will then limit the automatic

setting range (Max. ISO valueMax. ISO value). A max. exposure time can also

optionally be conﬁgured. There are focal length related settings

(1/f1/f, 1/(2f)1/(2f), 1/(3f)1/(3f), 1/(4f)1/(4f)) and ﬁxed max. shutter speeds 1/21/2 and 1/20001/2000

FIXED ISO VALUES

There is more leeway for the use of preferred shutter speed and

aperture combinations when setting the exposure manually. You

can set priorities within the scope of the automatic setting, e.g. for

reasons of picture composition. ISO values between 50 and

50,000 can be selected in 11 increments.

▸ Select ISOISO in the main menu

▸ Select the desired setting in the submenu

Note

When high ISO values are used or the image is edited later, image

noise, as well as vertical and horizontal stripes may become visible,

particularly in larger, evenly lit areas of the object.
