PHOTOGRAPHY ▸ ISO SENSITIVITY 102
AUTOMATIC SETTING
The camera automatically adjusts the sensitivity to ambient bright-
ness and/or to the configured shutter-speed/aperture combination.
In conjunction with aperture priority mode, this function extends the
range for automatic exposure control.

▸ Select M-ISO in the main menu

LIMITING SETTING RANGES
A max. ISO value can be set, which will then limit the automatic
setting ( Maximum ISO ). A max. exposure time can also optionally be
configured. Focal length-related settings ( 1/f s , 1/(2f) s , 1/(4f) s )*
and fixed max. shutter speeds between 1/2 s and 1/2000 s are
provided.
In the focal length-specific settings, the camera will only switch to a
higher sensitivity if the shutter speed would fall below the set thresh-
old due to low light; for example with a 50 mm lens at speeds slower
than 1⁄60 s at 1/f s , 1⁄125 s at 1/(2f) s or 1⁄250 s at 1/(4f) s .
Separate settings are available for flash photography.
* This function requires the use of encoded lenses or a manual setting of the lens
type used in the menu.
