Setting ISO Speed
The ISO setting controls the camera’s sensitivity to light. Use a lower ISO setting in brightly lit scenes; use a higher ISO setting for low-light scenes.
NOTE: ISO settings are available in Auto, Landscape, and Close-up modes (unless Long Time Exposure is set). Higher ISO speeds may create a picture that is “noisier” than a picture taken at lower ISO speeds.
