What is ISO?
The ISO on a digital camera allows the user to control how light sensitive the camera is.
The lower the ISO, the less light sensitive the camera is.
The higher the ISO, the more light sensitive the camera is.
Advantages:
The ISO allows the user to take photos in bright areas with a low ISO and in darker areas with an increased ISO.
Disadvantages:
When the ISO is increased, the quality of the images will be poorer. The images become grainy, less sharp and will have decreased amounts of detail.
Examples:
- 1/200
- F5.6
ISO 100
ISO 400
ISO 1600
ISO 6400
