Sensitivity
“Sensitivity” refers to the camera’s sensitivity to light. Choose from values between
L (100)
(ISO 100)
and
H (12800)
(ISO 12800). Higher values can be used to reduce blur when lighting is poor, while low-
er values allow slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright light; note, however, that mottling
may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at
H (12800)
, while choosing
L (100)
reduces dynamic range. Values of from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 are recommended in most situations.
