Sensitivity“Sensitivity” refers to the camera’s sensitivity to light. Choose from values between 200 and 6400, or select L (100), H (12800), or H (25600) for special situations. Higher values can be used to reduce blur when lighting is poor, while lower values allow slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright light; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at H (25600), while choosing L (100) reduces dynamic range. Values of from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 are recommended in most situations. If an AUTO option is selected, the camera will adjust sensitivity automatically in response to shooting conditions; the value in parentheses is the maximum sensitivity that will be selected when the subject is poorly lit.
