The ISO speed is a numeric indication of the sensitivity to light. A higher
ISO speed number indicates a higher sensitivity to light. Therefore, a
high ISO speed is suited for low light and moving subjects. However,
the image may look more coarse with noise, etc. On the other hand, a
low ISO speed is not suited for low light or action shots, but the image
will look cleaner.
The camera can be set between ISO 100 and 1600 in 1/3-stop
increments.
In the <1> (Full Auto) mode, the ISO speed will be set automatically
within ISO 100-400.

At higher ISO speeds and higher ambient temperatures, the image will
have more noise.
High temperatures, high ISO speeds, or long exposures may cause
irregular colors in the image.

and “H” (ISO 3200) can also be set.
