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.
CAUTION
- The following explanations are provided based on the assumption that the [Shooting Mode] is set to [Program AE] (
).
1. Press the <Power> button on the camera.
NOTE
To set the [ISO Speed], it is necessary to set the [Shooting Mode] to one of the following modes.
- [Program AE] (
), [Super Macro] (
) or [Long Shutter] (
) in [SCN] (
).
2. Press the <ISO> (
) button.
3. The following screen appears on the LCD monitor.
Press the <ISO> (
) button repeatedly to display the [ISO speed]* you want to set.
The [ISO Speed] you selected is displayed on the screen.
* The appropriate [ISO Speed] differs depending on shooting locations. If the camera shake warning icon (
) appears when you press the <Shutter Button> halfway, it is recommended to gradually raise the ISO speed in increments such as [ISO 80], [ISO 100], etc., and then set the [ISO Speed] when the camera shake warning icon (
) disappears.
4. If the following icon is shown, the setting is complete (if setting [ISO Speed] to 400).
CAUTION
Raising the [ISO Speed] results in a faster shutter speed. Therefore, you can shoot images with less subject blur and camera shake.
However, the higher the [ISO Speed], the more the noise stands out (more uneven areas in an image).
