31. Sensitivity Up By default, sensitivity can be set to a values equivalent to ISO 200, 400, 800, or 1,600. Sensitivity up can be used to increase sensitivity by a factor of +1 or +2 over ISO 1600. These settings can be used to achieve high shutter speeds at night-time sporting events, or to achieve optimal exposure when taking photographs of poorly-lit subjects. Note, however, that high sensitivity settings increase the amount of noise that appears in the final photograph. It is recommended that you take a trial photograph to check the results when shooting at high sensitivity settings.
