ISO Menu
The ISO menu allows you to set the level of sensitivity that your camcorder has to light in the
surrounding environment. When the ISO level is increased, the image sensor in your camcorder will be
more sensitive to light and allow you to capture images in lower-light situations. The higher sensitivity
to light however, may reduce the quality of the images that are taken.
When the ISO is reduced, the image sensor in your camera will be less sensitive to light and will
optimize the image quality in environments with bright lighting.
