ISO made simple

Many people want to take photos in low light conditions. That is why I wrote this blog on make this simple. There is a magic triangle between ISO, aperture  and shutter speed. Your camera makes this easy. Here is how to do it.

Adjusting it on a digital camera is a fundamental aspect of controlling exposure. ISO refers to the sensitivity of the camera’s image sensor to light. Here’s a general guide on how to adjust the it on a digital camera:

  1. Access the Menu:
    • Turn on your camera and access the menu. The location of the ISO settings may vary depending on the camera model.
  2. Locate ISO Settings:
    • Look for the it in the settings in the menu. It’s often represented by the letters “ISO” and might be under the “Exposure” or “Shooting Settings” menu.
  3. Select Value:
    • Once you find the settings, you can typically select a specific  value. Common values include 100, 200, 400, 800, and so on. Lower values (e.g., ISO 100) are less sensitive to light, while higher values (e.g.,  800 or higher) are more sensitive.
  4. Auto:
    • Many cameras also have an “Auto ISO” option. In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts the ISO based on the available light, aiming to maintain a proper exposure.
  5. Manual Mode:
    • If you’re shooting in manual mode, you have more control over the  setting. Adjust the ISO based on your desired exposure, taking into consideration the aperture and shutter speed settings.
  6. Considerations:
    • Keep in mind that higher ISO values can introduce digital noise or grain to your images. Use the lowest setting possible for the given lighting conditions to maintain image quality.
  7. Use in Low Light:
    • In low-light situations, you may need to increase the to capture properly exposed images without using a slower shutter speed or wider aperture.
  8. Experiment:
    • Experiment with different settings in various lighting conditions to understand their impact on your photos.

Remember that the process might vary slightly depending on your camera model, so refer to your camera’s manual for specific instructions tailored to your device.
