i: Setting the ISO Speed N
 If [z 4: Highlight tone priority ] is set to [Enable], ISO 100/125/160 and 
“ H ” (equivalent to ISO 25600)  cannot be set (p.145).
  Shooting in high temperatures may re sult in images that look grainier. 
Long exposures can al so cause irregular colors in the image.
  When you shoot at high ISO speeds,  noise (such as dots of light and 
banding) may become noticeable.
  When shooting in conditio ns that produce an extreme amount of noise, 
such as a combination of high ISO  speed, high temperature and long 
exposure, images may not  be recorded properly.
  As “ H” (equivalent to ISO 25600) is  an expanded ISO speed setting, 
noise (such as dots of lig ht and banding) and irregular colors will be more 
noticeable, and the resolution  will be lower than usual.
  If you use a high IS O speed and flash to shoot a close subject, 
overexposure may result.
  If you shoot a movie while “ H” (equivalent to ISO 25 600) is set, it will 
switch to ISO 12800 (wit h movie manual exposure  shooting). Even if you 
switch back to still ph oto shooting, the ISO speed will not revert to the 
original setting.
  Under [ z3: ISO speed settings ], you can use [ISO speed range ] to 
expand the settable ISO speed range up to ISO 25600 (H) (p.123).
   can be displayed in the vi ewfinder when you set the “ H” expanded 
ISO speed (p.376).
