Setup 4/9 ISO – as a term in the camera world, describes the camera’s film or sensor speed. The higher this number is, the more sensitive the camera is to light, which allows you to shoot under low-light conditions. But, the higher the number of the ISO, the more noise appears on the image, reducing the overall quality.
Default Setting – Reset the camera to factory settings. Version – Display the firmware version. OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES Note: Some of the accessories are a part of the M10 bundle.
