You can increase the shutter speed while
the same amount of light is present, by increasing the ISO sensitivity.

the noise level in the image will increase as the ISO value increases,
making the image appear coarse.

Ä [ISO] is enabled only in [Program] mode.
Ä When the ISO 3200 menu is selected, the image size is fi xed to
under 3M.
