[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, the ISO sensitivity will remain fixed at the value selected with the ISO sensitivity dial.

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].
