The ISO setting determines how sensitive the camera is to light. Choose a low
ISO setting when shooting in bright light and a high ISO setting when shooting
in dim light. ISO settings for digital cameras range from ISO 50 to ISO 3200,
with a few offering ISO 6400. As mentioned previously, images captured with
high ISO settings will have more digital noise. Some images photographed at
ISO 3200 and ISO 6400 may be unusable due to the high degree of digital noise.
Consult your camera manual for the available ISO range.
