ValueThe ISO sensitivity is fixed to theselected value.

ISO is short for International Organizationfor Standardization. ISO standards specify the

sensitivity for digital cameras and film, thus codessuch as ISO 100 are used to represent sensitivity.

In the ISO setting, although smaller values result inless sensitivity, sharp images can be taken under fullylit conditions. Larger values result in higher sensitivity,and images can be taken at fast shutter speeds even

under low light conditions. However, high sensitivityintroduces noise into the resulting picture, which maygive it a grainy appearance.
