- ISO refers to how sensitive your camera is to light, which is the most important aspect of photography.
- Together with aspects like aperture and shutter speed, ISO determines how bright or dark your photo is.
- A low ISO setting lowers the amount of light entering the lens, while a higher ISO setting increases the light.
- High ISO is often discouraged because it presents a risk of blurring details on photos.
- It is, however, appropriate when shooting pictures in limited light.
- Most smartphone cameras have the ISO mode on auto which means it intelligently adjusts itself.
- You can, however, manually set it as you explore your different camera settings.
- Every camera has different ISO values, with the lowest value known as the base ISO (usually 100).
- From the lowest, each ISO value on the scale is typically double the previous one, such as 100, 200, 400, and 800.
- ISO values below 300 are often appropriate for high-quality photos.
