Solution

Raise the [ISO speed] to use a fast shutter speed when you wish to reduce the effects of camera shake or avoid blurry subjects, or to turn the flash off when shooting in a dark area.

IMPORTANT

The position and shape of the operation buttons, screens displayed, and setting items may differ according to the model you use.
The following section explains the setting procedures when the camera’s shooting mode has been set to [Program AE] ().
In some shooting modes it may not be possible to set the ISO speed.

For information on the shooting modes in which the ISO speed can be changed, please refer to the table at the end of the page.

1. Press the <Power> button to turn the camera on.

2. Press the <FUNC./SET> (

3. Press the [

(If the default settings have not been changed, [AUTO] (

4. Press the [

], [

] buttons to choose the desired ISO speed.

Overview of ISO Speed Settings

AUTO	Automatically adjusts the ISO speed to suit the shooting mode and conditions.
80, 100, 200	Low High	For shooting outdoors in fair weather.
400, 800		For shooting in cloudy conditions, or at twilight.
1600, 3200		For shooting night scenes, or in dark rooms.

The setting you selected will appear on the screen.

NOTE

To view the automatically determined ISO speed when you have set the ISO speed to [AUTO], press the shutter button halfway.
Although choosing a lower ISO speed may reduce image graininess, there may be a greater risk of subject and camera shake in some shooting conditions.
Choosing a higher ISO speed will increase shutter speed, which may reduce subject and camera shake and increase the flash range. However, shots may look grainy.

The shooting modes in which the ISO speed can be set are shown in the table below:
