ISO

The ISO function allows you to set the sensitivity of the camera's sensor based on the brightness of the scene. To improve the camera's sensor performance in darker environments, a higher ISO value is required. On the other hand, a lower ISO value is needed when in bright conditions.

Pictures at higher ISO will naturally have more noise than those at lower ISO.

The camera's ISO settings include automatic, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200.
