Option Description
ISO AutoThe camera automatically adjusts 
the sensitivity according to the 
shooting scene.
High ISO Auto The camera uses a higher sensitivity 
compared to [ISO Auto] to minimize 
blur caused by a moving subject or 
by camera shake.
Value The ISO sensitivity is fi
 xed to the 
selected value. 
						

							33EN
  In the ISO setting, although smaller values result in less sensitivity, sharp images can be taken under fully 
lit conditions. Larger values result in higher sensitivity, 
and images can be taken at fast shutter speeds even 
under low light conditions. However, high sensitivity 
introduces noise into the resulting picture, which may 
give it a grainy appearance.
Sequential shooting (Drive)
Pictures are taken sequentially while the shutter button 
is held down.
