Tipsy Thursday #3
I get asked what's the ISO? Now think back to film for a minute...you would buy different speeds of film (ie: ISO 200/ISO 400/ISO 800). Now with digital it's the level of sensitivity your sensor is to light. The higher the number the more sensitive BUT you get more noise as well. Noise is that grainy look you will see sometimes and more with the less light you have. Most cameras are set to auto and remain there! If you're in bright light try taking it off and put it on the lowest number you have. The lower the iso (with enough light) make for the best possible quality.
