ISOstandards specify the sensitivity for digitalcameras and fi lm, thus codes such as “ISO100” are used to represent sensitivity.In the ISO setting, although smaller valuesresult in less sensitivity, sharp images canbe taken under fully lit conditions. Largervalues result in higher sensitivity, andimages can be taken at fast shutter speedseven under low light conditions. However,high sensitivity introduces noise into theresulting picture, which may give it a grainyappearance.
