ISO is a measure of sensitivity to light. The
higher the sensitivity is set, the less light is
needed to take a picture so the camera
becomes more suitable for recording in
dark places.

is automatically adjusted to a maximum of
[ISO200] according to the brightness. (It can
be adjusted to a maximum of [ISO640] when
