Setting the sensitivity level (Page 41)

and ISO 3200 (H IGH) can be selected. Set the sensitivity to "STO" when
taking pictures outside
in bright weather, and "HI GH " for dark interiors.
• NOTE
Sensitivity and film speed
This camera's shooting sensitivity
is equivalent to ISO film speeds of SOO
and 1600. Equivalent shutter speed/f-stop combinati,ons can be calculated
based on this
ISO rating. For example, to compare traditional film to
digital, at 1/250 second for the same scene brightness, the
E2 might use
f/6.7 at
ISO SOO which would be equivalent to f/2.S at ISO 150 on a regular
Nikon
SLR.
