• NOTE

Sensitivity and film speed

This camera's shooting sensitivity is equivalent to ISO film speeds of 800 and 1600. Equivalent shutter speed/f-stop combinations 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 800 which would be equivalent to f/2.8 at ISO 150 on a regular Nikon SLR.
