ISO Sensitivity

Higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally, even with subjects
of similar brightness, images can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by
camera shake and subject movement can be reduced.

•

When higher ISO sensitivity is set, images may contain noise.
