More on Photography and Playback Sensitivity Sensitivity
“Sensitivity” refers to the camera’s sensitivity to light.  Choose from values between 200 and 6400, or 
select L (100),  H (12800), or H (25600) for special situations.  Higher values can be used to reduce 
blur when lighting is poor, while lower values allow slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright 
light; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at 
H (25600), while choosing L (100) reduces dynamic range.  Values of from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 are 
recommended in most situations.  If  AUTO is selected, the camera will adjust sensitivity automatically 
in response to shooting conditions.
