Set the ISO speed (imaging sensor’s sensitivity to light) to suit the
ambient light level. For example, when you increase the ISO speed
(higher number) for low light, a faster shutter speed can be used and
camera shake will be less prone to occur. The effective range of the
flash will also increase.

Using a high ISO speed or shooting in high-temperature conditions may
result in slightly grainy images.
High temperatures, high ISO speeds, or long exposures may cause
irregular colors in the image.
In the Basic Zone modes, the ISO speed will be set automatically within
ISO 100 - 400 to match the respective light level.
With ISO 800 or 1600, camera shake is less prone to occur than with the
Basic Zone modes. The flash range will also be longer.
