I_1 (auto) ") Tap the bottom tab ") ISO ISO sensitivity
The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an image, allowing
capturing darker subjects.
Also, a higher sensitivity allows higher shutter speeds, resulting in the image with
less camera shake and subject blur in comparison to the same subject taken under
the same brightness.
• Although high ISO sensitivity settings are suited to images of subjects captured
under dim lighting, those captured without flash, or those captured at
telephoto setting, high sensitivity settings are often associated with "noise"-
randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels- concentrated in dark portions of
images, o
