ISO
This sets the sensitivity of the sensor for capturing photos to
compensate for various lighting situations. When the sensitivity
is raised (and the ISO value is increased), photography in dark or
dim lit locations are improved. However, this may result in a more
pixelated (grainier) photo.
• Use a higher ISO setting in dim conditions and a lower ISO
setting in brighter conditions. Read the text at the top to assist
in determining the desired result.
• Available settings are: Auto, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200
(3M, 16:9 <2M>, VGA),6400 (3M, 16:9 <2M>, VGA).
If the Stabilizer is enabled, ISO is automatically set to Auto and cannot be adjusted.
To adjust ISO disable Stabilizer first.
Metering

subject or frame by which the camera measures light to record
still images or video.
