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 become noisy.
Low ISO sensitivity
Records a smoother image.
However, when the exposure is insufficient, the image may become 
darker.
