45 More on Photography and Playback Sensitivity Sensitivity “Sensitivity” refers to the camera’s sensitivity to light. Choose from values between 200 and 6400, or select L (100), H (12800), or H (25600) for special situations. Higher values can be used to reduce blur when lighting is poor, while lower values allow slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright light; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at H (25600), while choosing L (100) reduces dynamic range. Values of from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 are recommended in most situations. If AUTO is selected, the camera will adjust sensitivity automatically in response to shooting conditions. 1 Press MENU/OK in shooting mode to display the shooting menu. Press the selec- tor up or down to highlight N ISO and press MENU/OK. R Sensitivity can also be assigned to any of the Fn, Fn2 , AE, and AF buttons using the F FUNCTION (Fn) SETTING option (P 67) in the shooting menu. 2 Press the selector up or down to highlight the desired option and press MENU/OK to select.

Choose for stationary subjects. • C (continuous AF): Focus is continually adjusted to refl ect changes in the distance to the subject while the shutter button is pressed halfway. Use for subjects that are in mo- tion. • M (manual): Focus manually using the lens focus ring. Rotate the ring left to reduce the focus distance, right to increase. The manual focus indicator indicates how closely the focus distance matches the distance to the subject in the focus brackets (the white line indicates the focus distance, the blue bar the depth of fi eld, or in other words the distance in front of and behind the focus point that ap- pears to be in focus); you can also check focus visually in the viewfi nder or LCD monitor.

Although the camera boasts a high-precision autofocus system, it may be unable to focus on the subjects listed
below.
• Very shiny subjects such as mirrors or car bodies.
• Fast-moving subjects.
• Subjects photographed through a window or other refl ective object.
• Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than refl ect light, such as hair or fur.
• Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or fl ame.
• Subjects that show little contrast with the background (for example, subjects in clothing that is the same color as the background).
• Subjects positioned in front of or behind a high-contrast object that is also in the focus frame (for example, a subject photographed against a backdrop of highly contrasting elements).

Exposure Value (EV) Exposure Value (EV) The exposure value is determined by the sensitiv- ity of the image sensor and the amount of light to which the sensor is exposed. Doubling the amount increases EV by one, while halving it reduces EV by one. The amount of light entering the camera can be controlled by adjusting aperture and shutter speed. Choosing an Exposure Compensation Value Choosing an Exposure Compensation Value • Backlit subjects: Choose values from +2 /3 EV to +12/3 EV. • Highly refl ective subjects or very bright scenes (e.g., snowfi elds) : +1 EV • Scenes that are mostly sky : +1 EV • Spotlit subjects (particularly if photographed against dark back- grounds) : –2 /3 EV • Subjects with low refl ectivity (pine trees or dark-colored foliage): –2 /3 EV
