Iso Sensitivity; Setting The Iso Sensitivity - Olympus E-1 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 may give pictures a grainy
appearance.
Setting the ISO sensitivity to ISO BOOST using the menu beforehand allows you to
select the high ISO sensitivity (1600 or 3200).
Auto, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200
With a lower ISO setting, you can shoot clear, sharp images in daylight. With a higher
ISO setting, you can shoot in darker conditions.
The values can be selected when ISO is set to ISO BOOST in the menu.
