Setting the ISO Speed
The ISO setting controls the camera’s sensitivity to light. Use a lower ISO setting
in brightly lit scenes, use a higher ISO setting for low-light scenes.
1 Turn the Mode dial to Capture and press Menu.
2 Highlight the ISO Speed menu , then press Select.
3 Highlight the ISO Speed setting you want to
use.
AUTO (default)—the camera
automatically sets an ISO speed based on
scene brightness. Ideal for general picture
taking.
ISO 100—ideal for daylight pictures in
bright sun, when fine detail is needed. Great
for portraits or nature scenes.
ISO 200—ideal for cloudy, overcast days.
Great when you need extra speed without
sacrificing image quality.
ISO 400—ideal for dusk or night pictures
when flash is prohibited; great for pictures
at sporting events when you need to stop the
action; and excellent for indoor shots, with
or without flash.
When any setting except Auto is selected, the
icon appears in the Status Display.
4 Press Select to accept the change and return to the Menu screen.
5 Press Menu to exit the Menu screen.
This setting remains until you change it unless Reset User Settings is set to
Yes (see page 44).
