ISO: Determines the sensor's sensitivity to light. Lower ISO values (e.g., ISO 100) produce cleaner images, while higher ISO values (e.g., ISO 6400) allow shooting in low light but may introduce noise.

3.2 Autofocus Modes

AF tembakan tunggal (AF-S): Locks focus when the shutter button is half-pressed. Suitable for stationary subjects.
