ISO (Video Only)
ISO determines the camera's sensitivity to light, and creates a tradeoff
between brightness and resulting image noise. Image noise refers to the
degree of graininess in the image.
In low light, higher ISO values result in brighter images, but with greater
image noise. Lower values result in lower image noise, but darker images.
When you change this setting, the touch display immediately shows you the
effect on your image.

ISO behavior depends on the Shutter setting:
• Shutter set to Auto: The ISO that you select is used as the maximum
ISO value. The ISO value that is applied might be lower, depending on
the lighting conditions. Available ISO values are 6400, 3200, 1600, 1200,
800, 400.
• Shutter not set to Auto: The ISO that you select is used as the
maximum ISO value, unless you tap [
to lock the value. Available ISO values are 6400, 3200, 1600, 1200, 800,
and 400.

ISO Minimum (Photo Only)
ISO Maximum (Photo Only)
ISO Minimum and ISO Maximum let you set a range for the camera's
sensitivity to light and image noise. ISO settings create a balance between
brightness and resulting image noise. Image noise refers to the degree of
graininess in the image.
Higher values result in brighter images with greater image noise. Lower
values result in darker images with lower image noise.

Note: ISO Minimum is not available for Time Lapse photos when the interval is set to
0.5 or 1 second.
PRO TIP: To lock the ISO at a specific value, set ISO Minimum and ISO
Maximum to the same values.
