ISO sensitivity indicates how sensitive film is to light. A greater
value means higher sensitivity. High sensitivity is suitable for
shooting an object in a dark place or a fast-moving object while
minimizing blurring.
You can select from the following ISO settings:
Auto, Auto-Hi, ISO 80, ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, ISO 800, ISO
1600
When ISO setting is set to [Auto], the camera automatically
changes the sensitivity according to the distance, brightness, macro
settings, and quality/size. Usually, use the camera in the [Auto]
mode.
When the ISO setting is set to [Auto-Hi] (auto high sensitivity), the
sensitivity is automatically set according to the shooting conditions,
but the upper limit of the sensitivity can be set higher than in [Auto].
When shooting a dark subject, the shutter speed set in [Auto-Hi] is
faster than in [Auto], which may reduce camera shake or blurring of
the subject. Set the maximum sensitivity for [Auto-Hi] in the setup
menu. (

If you do not want to allow the camera to change the ISO sensitivity,
select an ISO setting other than [Auto] or [Auto-Hi].
