ISO Speed Guide

Low ISO speeds reduce image noise but may increase the risk of
camera/subject shake or reduce the area in focus (shallower depth of
fi eld), in some shooting conditions.

High ISO speeds enable low-light shooting, a larger area in focus (deeper
depth of fi eld), and longer fl ash range but may increase image noise.
