The ISO (Sensitivity Gain) and (Camera Shake) Icons

When lighting is poor and the flash is off (), the camera will automatically raise its sensitivity to light for faster exposures, minimizing blur caused by camera shake. When sensitivity is raised above the default value, an ISO icon will appear in the monitor to warn that “noise” may appear in the final pic- ture. If the shutter speed required for exposure is very slow, a (camera shake) icon will appear in the monitor. Use of a tripod or support is recom- mended.
