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 finer.
The camera can be set between ISO 100 and 1600 in 1/3-stop
increments.

Z: Setting the ISO Speed
Using a high ISO speed or shooting in high-temperature conditions may
result in more grainy images.
High temperatures, high ISO speeds, or long exposures may cause
irregular colors in the image.
If C.Fn II -3 [Highlight tone priority] is set to [1: Enable], “L” (equivalent
to ISO 50), ISO 100/125/160 and “H” (equivalent to ISO 3200) settings
cannot be set. (p.164)
With C.Fn I -3 [Set ISO speed range], the ISO speed range can be
extended to ISO 50 (L) to 3200 (H). (p.158)
