On the A(auto) mode shooting screen Mdbutton MISO sensitivity

The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an image, allowing capturing darker subjects. Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness, images can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be reduced.

•Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects, shooting without the flash, shooting while using the zoom, etc., images may contain noise.
