Iso Sensitivity Setting - Olympus E-3 Instruction Manual

How AE bracketing compensates exposure in each exposure mode
Depending on the selected exposure mode, exposure is compensated in the following way:
P mode : Aperture value and shutter speed
A mode : Shutter speed
S mode : Aperture value
M mode : Shutter speed
TIPS
To apply AE bracketing to the exposure value you have compensated:
j Compensate the exposure value, then use the AE bracketing feature. AE bracketing is applied to
the exposure value you have compensated.

ISO sensitivity setting

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 may give pictures a grainy appearance.
