Using ISO Sensitivity

ISO Sensitivity is a measure of how the camera’s sensor reacts to light. Setting a high ISO will let you take pictures with smaller apertures under low lighting conditions or make it easier to freeze action with faster shutter speeds. How- ever, the higher the ISO, the more likely “noise” in the form of randomly- spaced, brightly-colored pixels may appear.

ISO Sensitivity can be selected in Mand Emodes.
