Fuji XT3 and ISO (L)

[Pete Gl]

I've always understood that, if there is sufficient light, use the lowest ISO your camera is capable of. My Fuji XT3 has a "Native" ISO of 160, but can go down to 125, 100 and 80, with the letter "L" displayed alongside those numbers. Could anybody explain to me the pro's and con's of using those lower ISO values given they're not "Native" to the camera?

Thanks for any advice in anticipation.

Pete.

They are ‘made up’ ISOs effectively handled in software, best image quality should come from the base ISO of 160

Yup.

Lots of cameras do this these days.
