MEMO
• When you select "100", "ISO" will not appear on the control panel.
That’s because “100” is the standard.
• Though photographs taken in dark places come out better the higher
the ISO rating is, the images will be grainy. Learn to use this effect to
your advantage.
• In the M mode, the maximum selectable shutter speed varies
depending on the ISO rating.
