Iso Sensitivity Setting - Olympus E-P1 Instruction Manual

ISO sensitivity setting

The larger the ISO value, the darker the location in which you can shoot. However, increasing
the ISO value leads to increased noise (graininess) in the picture. ISO200, which gives
optimal noise and gradation balance, is recommended for normal use.
For a slower shutter speed or when you want to open the aperture, use ISO100.
