You are probably familiar with ISO on film used in a film camera. It's the 'speed' of the film - higher ISO values mean you can take photos in lower light. But what about in the digital world? Surprisingly, there is an ISO setting on your Digital camera. And although there is no longer any film, the ISO setting still plays a vital role. ISO indicates your digital camera's sensitivity to light. The higher the number, the less light is needed to take a photo that is correctly exposed (not too dark or too light). In bright light (like the middle of a sunny day), you'll normally use ISO 50 or ISO 100. These lowest settings can be used because there is lots of light around. However, in lower light, your camera needs some help. There are two ways of doing this: With a slower shutter speed, the camera has more time to 'take in' the amount of light it needs. Unfortunately though, the slower the shutter speed, the more chance that your images will turn out blurry.

Rather than decrease the shutter speed, you can increase the ISO. As I said above, this will increase the sensitivity of the camera which means you can get the same shot with less light entering the camera. Thus the shutter speed can be kept low enough to avoid blurry images. As increasing the ISO will increase the shutter speed, a high ISO will also help when taking fast moving sports shots. You'll get clear, crisp shots with no blur. However, I still recommend you use the lowest ISO possible. Using a higher ISO means the camera has less light to work with. Unfortunately this also means that 'noise' is introduced into your camera. If you'd like to find out exactly what noise is and how to eliminate it, check out the free bonus on noise that comes with my Digital Photo Secrets book. Your camera's highest ISO value will produce a lot of noise in your image, so I suggest avoiding them unless the light is so low that you have no other choice. Instead choose the second highest value (second largest number).

Fortunately most of the time you don't need to worry about selecting the correct ISO. Most cameras have an "Auto ISO" setting. With Auto ISO, the camera will look at the amount of light in the scene and change the ISO appropriately so that the shutter speed doesn't get too slow.

Photographer Mathieu Stern dug up a large format camera lens that he claims dates back to the 1880s and slapped it (with some modifications) onto his Sony a7 II. You can peruse a collection of the resulting stills here and check out the video below for the moving picture. “The lens is incredibly sharp for a 136 years old simple metallic lens, from my test it’s even sharper than most of my modern canon lenses, the results are amazing,” Stern writes. “But it also gives some strange lens flares and light leaks that are pretty dreamy (some would say it’s horrible).” Step Into Photo History: Inside Kodak’s Tech Vault The Hidden History of the Zoom Lens in Film & History This Software Promises to Make Cheap Lenses Awesome
