ISO
Q You can select the ISO sensitivity when taking pictures.
The speed or specific light-sensitivity of a camera is rated in ISO numbers.
- AUTO :
The camera’s sensitivity is automatically
changed by variables such as lighting value or
subject brightness.
- 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 :
You can increase the shutter speed while the
same amount of light is present, by increasing
the ISO sensitivity. However, the image may be saturated in high
luminance.
The higher the ISO value, the greater is the camera’s sensitivity to light;
therefore it has a greater capacity for taking pictures in darker conditions.
However, the noise level in the image will increase as the ISO value
increases, making the image appear coarse.
Q The white balance control allows you to adjust the colours to appear more
natural.
