Adjusting the ISO sensitivity
The ISO sensitivity is the measure of a film’s sensitivity to light as
defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
The higher ISO sensitivity you select, the more sensitive to light
your camera becomes. With a higher ISO sensitivity, you can get
a better photo without using the flash.
