ISO sensitivity

The setting can also be configured in (Movie manual) mode.

A higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be reduced.

When a higher ISO sensitivity is set, images may contain noise.
