White balance

The white balance control allows you to adjust
the colours to appear more natural.

ISO

[Auto] : The camera's sensitivity is automati-

cally changed by variables such as
lighting value or subject brightness.

[ISO 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 ] :

You can increase the shutter speed while the
same amount of light is present, by increasing
the ISO sensitivity. However, the image may
be saturated in high luminance.
The higher the ISO value, the higher the camera’s sensitivity to light
and therefore the greater its capacity to take pictures in dark condi-
tions. However, the noise level in the image will increase as the ISO
value increases, making the image appear coarse.

You can select the ISO sensitivity when taking pictures.
The speed or specifi c light-sensitivity of a camera is rated by ISO numbers.
