ISO – Set-up appropriate sensitivity
The higher the ISO settings, the greater the camera’s light sensitivity and the
better its ability to shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values also
introduce noise into the resulting image, which may give them a grainy
appearance.
AUTO
Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the light conditions
and the subject brightness.
50 to 400
With a lower ISO setting, you can shoot clear, sharp images in
daylight. With a higher ISO setting, you can use faster shutter
speeds with the same amount of light. The available ISO settings
vary depending on the EV step setting.

images.
