[Auto Bracket]  
[ISO-BKT] can be selected. With the value set for the ISO sensitivity setting  
in the shooting menu as the standard, 3 images can be shot with differing  
ISO settings; one at -1/3EV of the standard (set) value, one at the standard  
(set) value, and one at +1/3EV of the standard (set) value.  
Caution ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
Since shooting is performed within the ISO sensitivity range that can be set,  
the bracketing range may not be 1/3EV or an image may be shot with the  
same settings, depending on the [ISO Setting].  
[Interval Shooting]  
The number of shots to be taken can be set. When this is set, the “remaining  
number of shotsis displayed during shooting.  
The shooting interval can be set to a minimum of 2 seconds, and the  
number of shots to be taken can be set to a maximum of 99 shots.  
ꢀꢆ  
[Noise Reduction]  
Perform noise reduction from [Off], [Auto], [Weak], [Strong], or [MAX]. The  
time required to record images varies with the option selected.  
Caution ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• If the flash (GF-1) is fired using DISP. in [Manual], the white balance will be  
set to the metering results calculated when the flash went off.  
[ISO Setting]  
[Auto], [Auto-Hi], [ISO-LO], [ISO 200] to [ISO 3200] can be selected.  
Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
• [ISO-LO] is equivalent to ISO 100. However, the dynamic range gets  
narrower and the higher brightness levels make whiteout more likely to  
occur.  
• When [Auto] is selected and the flash is used, the sensitivity used will gain  
up to ISO 800 equivalent.  
• The step setting for ISO can be selected in [ISO Step Setting] (GP. 38) in  
the setup menu.

sharply different temperature, if humidity is high, in a cold room after the  
heater has come on, or where the camera is exposed to cold air from an air  
conditioner or other device.  
ꢃꢃ
