ISO sensitivity
The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera's light sensitivity and the better its ability to shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values also introduce noise into the resulting image, which may give them a grainy appearance. AUTO Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the light conditions and the subject brightness. 50/80/160/320 With a lower ISO setting, you can shoot clear, sharp images in daylight. With a higher ISO setting, you can use faster shutter speeds with the same amount of light.

Note
· Higher ISO settings produce more electrical noise. · When ISO is set to AUTO and you are shooting in dark conditions without a flash, ISO automatically increases, otherwise the shutter speed will be reduced, possibly resulting blurred images due to camera movement. · If the subject is too far away for the flash illumination to reach when ISO is set to AUTO, the sensitivity is automatically increased.

Exposure compensation
This function allows you to make fine changes to the present exposure setting using the arrow pad. In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually. When the setting is changed, you can check the result on the monitor.

White balance
Color reproduction differs depending on the light conditions.
