ISO speed NOTE The ISO Speed setting does not apply to recording video clips. If you press OK when the ISO Speed option is highlighted in the Capture menu, the ISO Speed sub-menu displays. This sub-menu allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the camera to light. Because lower ISO numbers allow slower shutter speeds, use the ISO 100 setting to capture higher quality images that have the least grain or "noise." In contrast, because higher ISO numbers allow higher shutter speeds, use a higher ISO Speed setting when taking either pictures in dark areas without a flash, or pictures of fast moving objects. However, higher ISO speeds produce pictures with more grain or "noise" and, thus, can be of lower quality. NOTE If you are taking a picture in low light conditions without a flash and have set the camera to IS0 100, you may want to use a tripod because of the resulting slow shutter speed. The default ISO Speed setting is Auto, which allows the camera to pick the best ISO Speed for the scene. The ISO Speed setting resets to Auto when you turn the camera off. NOTE When you set the exposure mode to Action , Landscape , or Portrait , the ISO Speed menu option is grayed-out, and the camera automatically selects the best ISO Speed setting. 42 hp photosmart 930 series user's manual
