If the setting is anything other than the default setting of Auto, the icon for the setting (in the table above) will appear at the top of the Live View screen.
The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again or until the camera is turned off.
ISO speed
The ISO Speed setting adjusts the sensitivity of the camera to light. The Auto setting works the best.
NOTE If the camera is in Action, Landscape, Portrait, F2.6 or F4.9 mode, the ISO speed will always be set to Auto and the ISO option in the Capture menu will be grayed out.
Lower ISO speeds will capture the best quality pictures with the least amount of noise or grain. If taking a picture in low light conditions without a flash at ISO 100, you may want to use a tripod.
Higher ISO speeds allow higher shutter speeds and thus can be used when taking pictures in dark areas without a flash, or when taking pictures of fast moving objects and you want to stop action. Higher ISO speeds produce pictures with more grain and thus lower quality.
