ISO - The Cameras's Sensitivity to Light

ISO is  how sensitive the sensor in the camera is to light.

Low ISO = Low Sensitivity to Light
High ISO = High Sensitivity to Light

The ISO numbers double as they increase: 100 - 200 - 400 - 800, etc. Notice that this means each setting makes the camera twice as sensitive to light as the previous setting.

The ISO ranges from 100 to 3200 and above. There is also a "High 01" and High 02" setting.

Here are some links that go into greater detail about ISO.

You should always try to use the LOWEST ISO POSSIBLE to obtain the best quality image.
