However, higher values also produce more "noise" in the resulting images. ISO can be selected from AUTO, 100, 200, 400 and 800. AUTO : Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the lighting conditions and the subject brightness. 100/200/400/800 : 100 is best when you want to shoot clear, sharp images in daylight. With a higher ISO setting, you can use faster shutter speeds with the same amount of light.
