“ISO” is short for “International Organization
for Standardization.” ISO standards specify the
sensitivity for digital cameras and film, thus codes
such as “ISO 100” are used to represent sensitivity.
In the ISO setting, although smaller values result in
less sensitivity, sharp images can be taken under fully
lit conditions. Larger values result in higher sensitivity,
and images can be taken at fast shutter speeds even
under low light conditions. However, high sensitivity
introduces noise into the resulting picture, which may
give it a grainy appearance.
