Chapter 2: Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips

ISO Speed

NOTE

This setting does not apply when recording video clips.

This setting adjusts the sensitivity of the camera to light. When

ISO Speed

is set to the default

Auto

setting, the camera selects

the best ISO speed for the scene.
Lower ISO speeds will capture the best quality images with the

least amount of grain (or noise), but result in slower shutter

speeds. If taking a picture in low light conditions without a

flash at

ISO 100

, you may want to use a tripod. In contrast,

higher ISO numbers allow faster shutter speeds, and can be

used when taking pictures in dark areas without a flash, or

pictures of fast moving objects. Higher ISO speeds produce

pictures with more grain (or noise) and, thus, can be of lower

quality.
