Changing the ISO speed

•

Lowering the ISO speed results in sharper images, but there may be an 
increased chance of image blurring in certain shooting conditions.

•

Raising the ISO speed results in a faster shutter speed, reducing image blurring 
and letting the flash reach greater distances to the subject. The images, 
however, will appear coarse.

When the camera is set to 

, you can press the shutter button halfway to 

display the automatically set ISO speed.
