Option ISO Auto High ISO Auto Value Description The camera automatically adjusts the sensitivity according to the shooting scene. The camera uses a higher sensitivity compared to [ISO Auto] to minimize blur caused by a moving subject or by camera shake. The ISO sensitivity is fixed to the selected value. ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization. ISO standards specify the sensitivity for digital cameras and film, thus codes such as "ISO 100" are used to represent sensitivity. In the ISO setting, although smaller values result in less sensitivity, sharp images can be taken under fully lit conditions. Larger values result in higher sensitivity, and images can be taken at fast shutter speeds even under low light conditions. However, high sensitivity introduces noise into the resulting picture, which may give it a grainy appearance.
