Iso Sensitivity - Olympus CAMEDIA C-5000 Zoom Reference Manual

ISO sensitivity

The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera's light sensitivity and the
better its ability to shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values also
introduce noise into the resulting image, which may give them a grainy
appearance.
AUTO Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the light
conditions and the subject brightness.
50/80/160/320 With a lower ISO setting, you can shoot clear, sharp images
in daylight. With a higher ISO setting, you can use faster
shutter speeds with the same amount of light.
