Specifying ISO Sensitivity
You can change the ISO sensitivity setting for better images in places where lighting is dim or when you are using faster shutter speeds.
•ISO sensitivity is expressed in terms of values that originally indicated the sensitivity to light for photographic film. A larger value indicates higher sensitivity, which is better for recording when available lighting is dim.

IMPORTANT! 
•Under certain conditions, a high shutter speed in combination with a high ISO sensitivity setting can cause digital noise (graininess), which makes an image appear rough. For clean,
•Using a high ISO sensitivity setting along with the flash to shoot a nearby subject may result in improper illumination of the subject.
NOTE 
•You can use the key customization feature (page
125) to configure the camera so the ISO sensitivity setting changes whenever you press [] and [] while in a REC mode.
