Olympus E-1 - Manual (Page 83)

The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera’s light sensitivity and the better its
ability to shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values may give pictures a grainy
appearance.
Setting the ISO sensitivity to ISO BOOST using the menu beforehand allows you to
select the high ISO sensitivity (1600 or 3200).
