Various Shooting Functions

ISO sensitivity indicates how sensitive film is to light. A greater value means higher sensitivity. High sensitivity is suitable for shooting an object in a dark place or a fast-moving object while minimizing blurring.

You can choose from the following ISO settings: AUTO, ISO 64, ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, ISO 800, ISO 1600 and ISO 3200.
