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.

Also, with [ISO AUTO] selected, you can set the maximum ISO speed, or select the rate of change.

REFERENCE

Set a higher ISO speed for higher sensitivity, or a lower value for lower sensitivity.

IMPORTANT

Instructions in this section apply to the camera with [Shooting mode] set to [Program AE] ().

Setting the ISO Speed

1. Set the camera's power switch to [ON].

2. To adjust the ISO Speed setting, turn the [

] dial.

3. The option you configured is now displayed. (The [ISO Speed] has been set to 400 in the example image below.)

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.
You can also set the ISO speed by accessing MENU > [ 5] tab > [ISO speed] > [ISO Speed].
