ZSetting the ISO SpeedN

The ISO speed is a numeric indication of the sensitivity to light. A higher ISO speed number indicates a higher sensitivity to light. Therefore, a high ISO speed is suited for low light and moving subjects. However, the image may look more grainy with noise, etc. On the other hand, a low ISO speed is not suited for low light or action shots, but the image will look finer. The camera can be set between ISO 100 and 1600 in 1-stop increments.

The ISO speed is set automatically within ISO 100-400.

ISO Speed in the Creative Zone Modes
