Iso Sensitivity - Nikon 1 aw1 Reference Manual

ISO Sensitivity

The camera's sensitivity to light can be adjusted according to the
amount of light available. The higher the ISO sensitivity, the less
light needed to make an exposure, allowing faster shutter
speeds or smaller apertures.

The camera adjusts ISO sensitivity in response to
lighting conditions. ISO sensitivity is adjusted in
the range given in brackets; choose larger ranges
for increased sensitivity when lighting is poor,
smaller ranges to reduce noise (randomly-spaced
bright pixels, fog, or lines).
ISO sensitivity is fixed at the selected value.
