b ISO Sensitivity
Higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally, even
with subjects of similar brightness, images can be taken at faster shutter
speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be
reduced.
• When higher ISO sensitivity is set, images may contain noise.
