The problem I face in night photography is focus, its commonly said to set your lens to infinity and use manual focus, but the thing is my lenses don't have infinity window, or mark so in such video settings it would be impossible for me to have a proper visual focus....

The low ISO means that there won't be much noise in the background. Sure, if you were trying to take a shot of something moving at night you would use a higher ISO,. To get a well exposed picture you need to get a balance, imagine you need 1 to get a well exposed picture. So, apature*shutter speed* ISO = 1, if you decrease ISO and increase shutter speed you will still get a well exposed picture. Basically, the longer shutter speed compensates for the low ISO. Hope that helps!

hi, your iso is 400 at night? I thought higher ISO is supposed to be used at night? so why didn't you use a higher ISO? i'm still trying to get to grips with what ISO to use at differnet light levels. could you please explain why you used ISO 400 in pitch black and not higher? Thanks. =)

a good place to start would be finding out how long you can stay open without getting star streaks which is (lens mm) devided by 400 if on crop sensor and 600 if on full frame.
