ISO Sensitivity Settings

G button U 1 video recording menu

Adjust the following ISO sensitivity settings for use in video mode.

Option	Description
[Maximum sensitivity]	Choose the upper limit for auto ISO sensitivity control from values between ISO 200 and Hi 2.0. 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)]	[ON]: Enable auto ISO sensitivity control in mode M. [OFF]: Use the value selected for [ISO sensitivity (mode M)]. 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 Hi 2.0. Values between Lo 0.3 and 2.0 and ISO 800 and 51200 are available when [N‑Log] is selected for video tone mode.

[Maximum sensitivity]

Choose the upper limit for auto ISO sensitivity control from values between ISO 200 and Hi 2.0.
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)]

[ON]: Enable auto ISO sensitivity control in mode M.
[OFF]: Use the value selected for [ISO sensitivity (mode M)].
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 Hi 2.0.

Values between Lo 0.3 and 2.0 and ISO 800 and 51200 are available when [N‑Log] is selected for video tone mode.

Cautions: 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].
