A larger value indicates higher sensitivity, which is better for shooting when available lighting is dim. If you want to use faster shutter speeds, you should use a higher ISO sensitivity value. Under certain conditions, a fast shutter speed in combination with a high ISO sensitivity setting can cause digital noise, which makes an image appear rough. For clean, good-quality images, use the lowest possible ISO sensitivity setting. To shoot with this level of sensitivity: Automatically selected by camera. Low Select this setting: Auto ISO 50 ISO 100 ISO 200 High ISO 400 1. Use [ ] and [ ] to select the sixth option from the top in the operation panel (ISO Sensitivity).

Use [ ] and [ ] to select the setting you want and then press [SET]. Multi (Multi Metering) Multi-pattern metering divides the image into sections and measures the light in each section for a balanced exposure reading.
