sensitivity
Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the
sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Although a high ISO rating
is suited for taking pictures of subjects in action or in poor lighting, high sensitivity
is often associated with "noise" - randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels
concentrated in dark parts of the image.
AUtO (default Setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 80 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor, the camera
compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800.
High ISO auto
ISO sensitivity is automatically adjusted within the range between 80 and 1600,
depending upon the brightness of the scene. _-
