    Sensitivity and Depth of Field  Sensitivity and Depth of Field
If you choose a fast shutter speed when the subject is poorly lit, the camera au-
toexposure program will select a wider aperture.  This will produce the correct 
exposure but may also reduce depth of fi  eld so that less of the area behind and 
in front of your subject appears to be in focus (see the top illustration at right).  
To stop aperture down and increase depth of fi eld as shown in the second of 
the two illustrations at right, select a higher sensitivity.

vent motion blur (see the top illustration at right).  For faster shutter speeds 
that reduce motion blur as shown in the second of the two illustrations at right, 
select a higher sensitivity.

 Sensitivity Sensitivity
“Sensitivity” refers to the camera’s sensitivity to light.  Sensitivity is ad-
justed by pressing the dial lock release and rotating the sensitivity dial; 
choose from values between 200 and 6400, or select L (100), H1 (defaults 
to 12800), or H2 (defaults to 25600) for special situations.  Higher values 
can be used to reduce blur when lighting is poor, while lower values al-
low slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright light; note, how-
ever, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at  H2, while choosing 
L reduces dynamic range.  Values of from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 are recommended in most situations.  If 
A (auto) is selected, the camera will adjust sensitivity automatically in response to shooting conditions.
 
R RAW images can not be recorded at settings of L,  H1, or H2.  Only JPEG images will be recorded if these settings 
are chosen when RAW , FINE+RAW, or NORMAL+RAW is selected for image quality (P 79).
 
R The  N ISO DIAL SETTING option in the setup menu can be used to choose the sensitivity assigned to the H1 
and H2 positions on the sensitivity dial (P 91).  Choose from 12800, 25600, and 51200.

■  A  (Auto)
The  N ISO AUTO SETTING item in the shooting menu (P 78)  controls 
how the camera adjusts sensitivity when  A is selected.  The camera auto-
matically chooses a sensitivity between the default and maximum val-
ues; sensitivity is only raised above the default value if the shutter speed 
required for optimal exposure would be slower than the value selected 
for MIN. SHUTTER SPEED.

  Exposure Value (EV) Exposure Value (EV)
The exposure value is determined by sensitivity and 
by aperture and shutter speed, which control the 
amount of light to which the sensor is exposed.  Dou-
bling either the sensitivity or the amount of light in-
creases EV by one, while halving it reduces EV by one.

More on Photography and Playback Metering Metering
To choose how the camera meters exposure, rotate the metering dial to 
select from the following options.
ModeModeDescriptionDescription
oo(MULTI)(MULTI)The camera instantly determines exposure based on an analysis of composi-
tion, color, and brightness distribution.  Recommended in most situations.
pp(SPOT)(SPOT)The camera meters lighting conditions in an area at the center of the frame 
equivalent to 2% of the total.  Recommended with backlit subjects and in other 
cases in which the background is much brighter or darker than the main sub-
ject.
qq(AVERAGE)(AVERAGE)
Exposure is set to the average for the entire frame.  Provides consistent expo-
sure across multiple shots with the same lighting, and is particularly eff
 ective for 
landscapes and portraits of subjects dressed in black or white.
 
Q The selected option will only take eff  ect when Intelligent Face Detection is off   (P 38).
