[ISO sensitivity]

supports settings below ISO64 by about 0.3, 0.7, and 1EV (ISO

e ISO 25600 by about 0.3, 0.7, 1, and 2 EV
(ISO 102400 equivalent).
[Auto ISO sensitivity control]
Select [ON] to enable auto ISO sensitivity control. If [OFF] is
selected, [ISO sensitivity] will remain fixed at the value selected
by the user. [Maximum sensitivity], [Maximum sensitivity with
c], and [Minimum shutter speed] options are available when
[ON] is selected.
[Maximum sensitivity]
Choose an upper limit for ISO sensitivity to prevent it being raised
too high.
[Maximum sensitivity with c]
Choose the upper ISO sensitivity limit for phot
os taken using an
optional flash unit.
[Minimum shutter speed]

/
16,000
to 30s. If [Auto] is selected, the camera
will choose the minimum shutter speed based on lens focal
length. For example, the camera will automatically choose faster
minimum shutter speeds to prevent blur caused by camera shake
when a long lens is attached.
To view auto shutter-speed selection options, highlight [Auto]
and press 2. Auto shutter-speed selection can be fine-tuned
by choosing faster or slower minimums. Faster settings can be
used to reduce blur when photographing fast-moving subjects.
Shutter speeds may drop below the selected minimum if
optimal exposure cannot be achieved at the ISO sensitivity
chosen for [Maximum sensitivity].
