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.
