ISO Sensitivity
A higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally,
even with subjects of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at faster shutter
speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be
reduced.
•
When a higher ISO sensitivity is set, images may contain noise.
