White Balance

This sets the white balance for a variety of lighting conditions and permits images to be captured that approach the conditions that are seen by the human eye.

As you move through the selection, you can see the preview on the LCD monitor synchronously.

ISO

This sets the sensitivity for capturing images. When the sensitivity is raised (and the ISO figure is increased), photography will become possible even in dark locations, but the more pixelated (grainier) the image will appear.

Use a higher ISO setting in dim conditions and a lower ISO setting in brighter conditions.
