As the ISO value doubles, the camera sensitivity doubles. Like grain in silver-halide film that increases with speed, noise increases with sensitivity in digital imaging; an ISO setting of 50 will have the least noise and 320 will have the most. An ISO setting of 320 may allow the camera to be hand-held in low-light conditions without the need of a flash. Noise reduction is applied automatically to the image; see page 39 for details. Contrast This function increases or decreases the contrast of the scene in three levels: high (+), normal, and low (­).
