Iso Sensitivity - Olympus Stylus 500 Advanced 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
also introduce electrical noise into the resulting image, which may give it a
grainy appearance.

Note
• ISO settings are based on the sensitivity of normal camera film. The scale is approximate.
• When [ISO] is set to [AUTO] and you are shooting in dark conditions without a
flash, the shutter speed is reduced. In this case, the sensitivity is automatically
increased to avoid the risk of camera movement.
• If the subject is too far away for the flash illumination to reach when [ISO] is set
to [AUTO], the sensitivity is automatically increased.
46
Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the light
conditions and the subject brightness.
With a lower ISO setting, you can shoot clear, sharp images
in daylight. With a higher ISO setting, you can use faster
shutter speeds with the same amount of light.
