A low value lowers the sensitivity for daylight shooting of clear, sharp
pictures. The higher the value, the better the camera’s light sensitivity and
ability to shoot with a fast shutter speed and in low light conditions. However,
high sensitivity introduces noise into the resulting picture, which may give it
a grainy appearance.
