ISO

The ISO function allows you to set the 

sensitivity of the camera's light sensor 

based on the brightness of the scene. To 

improve the camera's sensor performance 

in darker environments, a higher ISO value 

is required. A lower ISO value is needed 

when shooting in brighter conditions.
Pictures taken at higher ISO settings will 

generally have more noise than those 

taken at lower ISO settings. (This can be 

adjusted in           Mode)

The camera's ISO settings include: Auto,

Shutter Adjustment

For shutter speed, the camera may 

automatically set the aperture value 

corresponding to the manually set 

shutter speed to obtain the most suitable 

exposure value. The movement of an 

object may be shown by adjusting the 

shutter speed. A higher shutter value can 

help you more clearly capture fast moving 

objects, while a lower shutter value can 

better show the movement of objects. 

(This can be adjusted in     Mode)
