Higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be reduced. • Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects, shooting without the flash, shooting while using the zoom, etc., images may contain noise. Option Description Auto (default setting) Sensitivity is ISO 80 when there is sufficient lighting; the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600 when lighting is dim.
