ISO on the Camera
ISO:
- ISO is the sensitivity of the cameras sensor to light.
- Changing your iso helps you get more light or less light in your photos.
ISO numbers
- 100
- 200
- 400
- 800
- 1600
- 3200
- 6400
ISO number doubles each time you change it allowing in twice as much light.
HINT: Think of your ISO numbers as Flash Lights
- If you have a bright situation you will only need a few Flash lights to brighten your photo (ISO 100).
- If it is dark, you will need a lot more flash lights to help light the photo (ISO 1600)
The Drawback to a High ISO
- The higher the ISO number the more film grain/ noise your photo will have.
- This usually occurs on ISO’s higher then iso 800
Low ISO- Smooth/Crisp
High ISO- Grain/Noise
