Sensitivity

Sensitivity

Sensitivity (ISO equivalency) is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Much as ﬁlm with a high ISO rating tends to produce “grainy” images, high sensitivities may however be associated with “noise”—randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels concentrated in dark parts of the image.
