It might be worth mentioning that ... or wasn't ISO primarily used to identify the light sensitivity of 35mm film. Higher ISO meant faster shutter speeds to get the same image... or the film was more sensitive to light.... this also meant you could take a picture of a high speed event (sports/racing/fast moving anything) and get a still shot that wasn't blurred. But that's basically what you're saying w/o mentioning old fashioned film...LOL. Thanks for all your videos. They're helpful.
ok.... so why don't you just NOT use ISO at all, and just adjust shutter speed? because there will be no grain on faster shutter speeds and none on slower exposures
@thecreativewebshow first off shutter speeds are way to slow in low light at low iso for hand held pictures. For still shots in low light you will need a tripod if you want to use low iso. Also if you take low light action shots you cant use a slow shutter at all so you have no choice but to raise the iso.
Your video is slightly misleading, ISO and shutter speed have a dependent relationship, but they are independent things. The reason you change the shutter speed is to /compensate/ for the increased sensitivity to light. Think of filling up a bucket with water, where ISO is the size if the bucket, The width of the hose is aperture, and the amount of time water is flowing is shutter speed, and your goal is to fill the bucket precisely [where you want], without over filling or under filling.
Great job as always. Your videos are always very informative and easy to follow. Your presentation of the subject is very detailed. Keep up the great work and I look forward to more of your videos.
thanks soo much for making this! i'm am looking into purchasing the Nikon D7000 as a beginner as it has been recommended to me by many. i know how to use DSLR's as i use my friends very often. i Had no clue what ISO meant up until i watched this video. it was very useful. thanks alot (:
How does taking a photo in darker conditions at higher ISO mean more light gets to the sensor? Isn't that like saying the quicker the shutter speed is the more the light gets in? There's surely a reason and something I'm not understanding, but that seems counter-intuitive to me
for everyone with more iso setting questions, basically ISO is how much light it takes to make a photo. A high ISO needs less light. 400 is basically a catch all and a good starting point. Good rule is higher ISO, less light needed (and better with action because you can utilize faster shutter speeds) so...Lower iso, more light needed and then can utilize slower shutter speeds. but keep in mind the camera is a synthesis of aperture, shutter speed, iso. you need to keep track of all 3.
talking to a photo guru the other day, he tuned me into the idea that if you go back and look at film, ISO is basically the number of crystals on the film that capture light. It works the same way on a digital sensors. so the noise is explained by the extra crystals being oversaturated giving you the "grains of sand" you discuss. Also keep in mind higher ISO can give you a higher resolution, the slower ISO basically scrubs out the extra crystals which can give clearer pic, but sacrifice data
wow kid you read my mind. i bought a nikkor 55-200 vr today and im fannaly able to take good wildlife photos, a few great shots of a duck on a log in the water, great image of the animal, but the background and trees looked really grainy, ultimately making the picture trash thanks for the help...again

so, if im not mistaken, the ISO setting is there, to prevent blurry images?
and what if i want to take a picture from a city at night or something? Will i have alot of the noise in the picture?
