The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an image, allowing
capturing darker subjects.
Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at
faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject
movement can be reduced.
• Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects,
shooting without the flash, shooting while using the zoom, etc., images may
contain noise.
