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 camcorder will be less sensitive to light and
will optimize the image quality in environments with bright lighting.
