Exposure Adjusting the light intensity

You can create various images by adjusting the exposure and the ISO sensitivity. Exposure is the amount of light that the camera will receive when you release the shutter.

Adjusting the ISO sensitivity

ISO is unit of measurement (sensitivity), estimating how much light an image pickup device (equivalent to photo films) receives. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO sensitivity.

To adjust the ISO sensitivity t page 31

High ISO sensitivity

Records a bright image even when shooting in a dark location.

However, the image tends to become noisy.

Low ISO sensitivity

Records a smoother image.

However, the image may become darker when the exposure is not sufficient.
