Selecting the ISO sensitivity
Abbreviation for the International
Organization for Standardization. ISO
standards specify the sensitivity for digital
cameras and fi lm, thus codes such as “ISO
100” are used to represent sensitivity.
In the ISO setting, although smaller values
result in less sensitivity, sharp images can
be taken under fully lit conditions. Larger
values result in higher sensitivity, and
images can be taken at fast shutter speeds
even under low light conditions. However,
high sensitivity introduces noise into the
resulting picture, which may give it a grainy
appearance.
