ISO sensitivity settings

Adjust the ISO sensitivity settings for video mode.

Option	Description
[Maximum sensitivity]	Choose the upper limit for auto ISO sensitivity control to prevent it being raised too high. The selected value serves as the upper limit for ISO sensitivity in modes P, S, and A and when [On] is selected for [Auto ISO control (mode M)] in mode M.
[Auto ISO control (mode M)]	If you select [On] and press the J button, the camera will automatically adjust the ISO sensitivity for video mode in mode M. If [Off] is selected, [ISO sensitivity (mode M)] will remain fixed at the value selected by the user. Regardless of the option selected, auto ISO sensitivity control is used in modes other than M.
[ISO sensitivity (mode M)]	Choose the ISO sensitivity for mode M from values between ISO 100 and 25600.

[Maximum sensitivity]

Choose the upper limit for auto ISO sensitivity control to prevent it being raised too high.

The selected value serves as the upper limit for ISO sensitivity in modes P, S, and A and when [On] is selected for [Auto ISO control (mode M)] in mode M.

[Auto ISO control (mode M)]

If you select [On] and press the J button, the camera will automatically adjust the ISO sensitivity for video mode in mode M. If [Off] is selected, [ISO sensitivity (mode M)] will remain fixed at the value selected by the user.

Regardless of the option selected, auto ISO sensitivity control is used in modes other than M.

[ISO sensitivity (mode M)]

Choose the ISO sensitivity for mode M from values between ISO 100 and 25600.

Auto ISO sensitivity control

At high ISO sensitivities, “noise” (randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines) may increase.
At high ISO sensitivities, the camera may have difficulty focusing.
The foregoing can be prevented by choosing a lower value for [ISO sensitivity settings] > [Maximum sensitivity].
