Although higher sensitivity settings will allow you to take
pictures in darker locations, they will also increase the
amount of speckling in your images. Streaking may also be
visible in shots of scenes such as the night sky.
Choose the sensitivity setting that best suits the conditions.
When selecting “AUTO” as the sensitivity setting,
the camera selects the best sensitivity setting for
the subject’s brightness.
