Changing the ISO Setting The sensitivity can be adjusted with the ISO setting. This ISO setting is the equivalent of the ISO settings performed with traditional SLR cameras which employ film. Three ISO settings are available with this camera: 80, 160, and 320. Although you can increase the sensitivity by raising the ISO setting to take pictures of dark subjects, this could cause the pictures to appear grainy. To prevent poor exposure, we recommend leaving the ISO setting set for AUTO or 80. With AUTO selected the camera can adjust the ISO setting automatically only when the intensity of the flash is insufficient. (For most situations, AUTO selects 80 for the ISO.) 1 2 3 1 Press the menu button .
