· Setting the ISO
This function enables you to change the camera's sensitivity to light by selecting the different ISO values. The higher the ISO value, the less light the camera needs to make an exposure, allowing the same exposure to be achieved with higher shutter speeds or smaller apertures. In a digital camera, higher ISO value allows higher shutter speed, at the expense of mottled or grain appearing in the final picture. The camera's sensitivity is automatically changed by different lighting value or subject brightness. In the same lighting condition, the higher the ISO value is, the faster the shutter speed will be. button to select the desired setting.
