Q: Is there a function to limit the sensativitivy of the screen to touch from ones hand?

No, there is no iOS setting to alter the screen sensitivity. Some apps will offer a palm rest area setting specific to the app though.  Basically they map a portion of the screen to an area where the app ignores inputs.

Aside from what Michael suggested, and the majority of drawing related apps that I use do use this, I guess you could really go for it if it's a must have for you in all uses of the iPad and just put on a fingerless glove on your drawing hand. That should eliminate the capacitive touch from your palm for sure.

Does anyone know if there is an adjustment to limit inadvertent input from hand contact to the screen while using the Apple Pencil on an iPad Pro?

There shouldn't be any inadvertent input from hand contact.

iPad Pro is designed with palm rejection technology, making it possible to rest your hand on the iPad screen while you use Apple Pencil. So you can focus on drawing with the utmost precision instead of worrying about how to position your arm.

It seems to work for me. Most of the apps I've been using are Pencil enabled.
