Adjusting ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index)

ISO sensitivity is a speed rating for recording media that incorporates an image sensor that receives light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO sensitivity.

High ISO sensitivity

Records a bright image even in dark locations while increasing shutter speed to reduce blur. However, the image tends to be noisy.

Low ISO sensitivity

Records a smoother image.

However, when exposure is insufficient, the image may be darker.
