Higher values can be used to reduce blur when lighting is poor; note, however, that mottling may ap-
pear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at settings above
1600
. If
AUTO
or an option
such as
AUTO (3200)
is selected, the camera will adjust sensitivity automatically in response to shoot-
ing conditions. In the case of
AUTO (3200)
,
AUTO (1600)
,
AUTO (800)
, and
AUTO (400)
, the value in
parentheses is the maximum sensitivity that will be selected when the subject is poorly lit.
Settings other than
AUTO
are shown by an icon in the display.
