Photography Tutorials & Tips: A detailed tutorial of "ISO" with picture samples.
Important Notes:

* The higher the ISO the more sensitive the sensor is going to be to light.
* The lower the ISO the less sensitive the sensor is going to be to light.

You use low ISO when shooting in daylight or with studio light.

You use high ISO when there is not a lot of light available. The drawback of high ISO is graininess/noise in picture.

  • what do you do when you bump up the ISO and it's to bright?

  • @bcfcpker If you increase the ISO and it becomes too bright, you simply reduce the ISO because when you increase the ISO you compromise on quality and it adds more noise to the image.

  • @bcfcpker It doesn't work that way. 3200 to 6400 is only 1 stop. You can also change the stops in 1/3 increments.

  • @PhotographersOnUTube What I would suggest is that you join the facebook page. There are thousands of photographers. Post your best stuff and we'll let you know. Thanks for the support man!

  • Fantastic job Jibran....I've a question after I went through the 3 basic videos... Is there any generic mathematical formula to select perfect ISO, Shutter speed and Aperture to get a perfect picture?

  • @warmSphinx56 Thank you! No there isn't a formula because the light is different from one room to another. BUT the camera can balance the exposure for you. Set the ISO which is super easy. Sunny day with plenty of light.. set it to lowest and forget it. Cloudy day with good light, ISO 200/400. Select the aperture you want & the camera will suggest the shutter speed in Manual mode. In Aperture mode camera will select the speed for you automatically. Watch the manual exposure video.

  • @JamesLovesGabz Not sure if you know what bias means. If I own a Nikon and show how it's done on the camera "I" own, that makes me bias? You expect me to own all the brands? Keep in mind nobody pays me to make these videos. I am obviously going to demonstrate things something "I" own. I won't buy a Canon, Sony, Olympus etc just to teach people how to do something when people don't want to read the manual themselves. They don't pay me a dime for this. I didn't design Nikon. I read the manual.

  • @valajibhavesh You better be a hot chick lol. Federer or Djokovic fan?

  • on your pic of flower, did you use a flash? also, why not decrease shutter speed, thus not having to increase ISO....also, why not go down to f2.0 instead of f3.2 w/o having to increase ISO which like u said, means more noise....i would like a recommended type of guide if you could provide one? your videos are great man!! best of all, it is free!!

  • you need to make a tutorial for tips and tricks within certain situations? like a birthday party what is recommended ISO range? shooting a soccer player running...basically specs on speed, aperture, etc.
