  • Your vid is a favorite on Juba Ramciel

  • This video went viral on India

  • THANK YOU!!! i just bought a new sony camera and the light balance is soooo offf because the ISO thingy was set at it's highest. at first i thought there was something wrong with the camera and wanted to send it back but now i don't have to :))

  • thanks man.. this is very informative and clear information about ISO.. I learned so much

  • Hi Iso for aesthetic value that sounds like cutting an Elephants trunk of for more aesthetic value.

  • keep em coming :D

  • wow, thank you, you really know how to make tutorials and in a such short time, i wish internet existed when i attended university, my photography teacher had no clue how to transmit his knowledge.. TY!!!

  • @feerof Hi Feerof. Nope. You can set the camera so that it thinks it has, say, a 400 speed film in it when, in actual fact, you've loaded a 200 speed film. Equally, you can convince the camera you've put a slower film, say 200 speed, in your camera when you've actually loaded a faster film (higher than 200 in this case)

    When you go to process the film you Push or Pull the developing time of the film (in essence meaning you develope it longer or shorter than you would normally)

  • Comment removed

  • So why the camera manufacturers are making cameras that can shoot at 3200 iso? in other words when do we use the higher iso values?

  • @MAFaried Camera manufacturers make high-ISO cameras so that you can shoot in low-light situations, as well as to help you achieve faster shutter speeds in a variety of situations (such as during sporting events where there is insufficient light for fast shutter speeds and low-iso settings). Fortunately, recent sensor developments have made High-ISO images quite acceptable; in the past, noise / digital artifacts were a serious concern at High-iso settings.

  • Thanks, I learned something new :D

  • I'm learning alot from your videos but this particular one confused me a bit with the flash thing. It says low ISO is good for flash photography, while high ISO is good for no flash photography. While low iso requires more direct sunlight, doesn't it mean that you wont be using Flash for this? While indoors there are less light, you need a higher ISO for light, but to keep it low, don't you need to use flash for indoors?

  • this is real educational .... thanks for making it easy to understand.

  • short and to the point and most of all CLEAR......

  • hi there. asking about the iso. what is the neaming of ISO???

  • @jearon9251 Hi Jearon. ISO stands for the International Standards Organisation. They pretty much set industry standards across all fields (not necessarily just photography, although the term seems most applicable in this field)

  • This is longer than 90 secs but very use full video

  • @TommyPh500d That's why I called it "Photography in (about) 90 seconds" on the title screen.

  • @ulufilms Ok cool very useful video :)

  • thnks...

  • VERY helpful! thank you!

  • Another name that's to do with sensitivity there called ASA and DIN. I think they were used for old cameras and filming ones like 8mm film. I don't know if ASA and DIN are still being used for todays cameras but for old cameras back then they regarded it as ASA and DIN speeds.

  • wow I've been watching like 5 min videos about iso and you explained it in this little bit of time bravo lol

    Nice though really

  • @naiyyer: Yes. "Intelligent ISO" is, according the wisdom of the interweb, a function of some cameras that "automatically sets the optimum ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to minimize camera shake" --- it does this by increasing the ISO instead of the shutter speed in low-light situations. The so-called "Normal ISO", if on auto setting, will likely keep your ISO within a restricted range and subsequently reduce your shutter to maintain proper exposure (assuming you are at max aperture).

  • Thanks for your video - keep 'em coming!

  • Is "intelligent ISO" different from normal ISO?
