I just bought a Rebel T7 and know nothing about photography, your whole video collection has taught me immensely. Wanting to not have to go auto mode and learn settings your series helped out immensely. Thank you very much for the time you put into these, extremely easy to follow. I am waiting for when I have the moon around and a clear night as I really want my first moon shot.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching Kevin.

One of the tips I learned when I was using film was that some subjects look great with the grainy look (digital noise). For instance, one series of photos I took was of buzzards. To get the effect I wanted I used a high ISO film (I thing 3200, but pushed to 6400 when developed) and shot in B&W. Cool effect.

You are right, a touch of "grain" can sometimes add a sense of atmosphere to an image - funny to think that we mostly work really hard to avoid digital noise yet with Lightroom you can add it if you wish. Best wishes Paul

Thank you so much for your videos 🙏it has taught me a lot. Visited Queensland six years ago, where my brother lives, very beautiful place.

Great video Paul, you're the best!

Just bought a Nikon D3200 and I didn't knew why my images had such a bad quality. My ISO was high as Snoop Dogg, (6400) even in full day. Now it's great that I know how to use it, I can actually take photos that actually blow my mind.

Thanks again Paul, your way of presenting the material makes it so easy to understand.

Incredibly helpful, watching your videos with a notepad is like the greatest camera crash course available. Thank you

Thanks for another good presentation, must get up and away. Kind regards.

Dear Mr. Paul: thank you so much for your videos. I joined a few “beginners” groups on Facebook , but I was still lost. I felt stupid. But you talk and explain in a way that makes it easy to understand . I hope that once the borders open after Covid that I could come to take a course ! (I’m in the USA)

This is the best video I've seen on ISO! You have inspired me to experiment some more, and to systematically test the limitations of my camera. I've been having challenging issues in low light settings with my Canon Rebel T3i for the past three years; and I finally, recently, started getting some answers. Especially for event photography and dogs playing in their parks, because I was getting noise at as low as 400 ISO, I started underexposing and trying to fix it in post processing. Finally, just a few months ago, I got a helpful reply to a KZread comment regarding this challenge. Under exposing WAS my biggest problem. My favorite thing to do is photographing dogs playing in their dog parks, freezing the action and the water droplets flying off their fur. So, after receiving this potential answer to my problem, the next time I went to the dog park just before sunset, I shot on auto ISO. A lot of my images were still noisy; but the noise was not as bad as it is when I underexpose. I've learned I can't fix my camera's poor ISO responsiveness by underexposing my images. I've also learned that I was being a little too much of a perfectionist, and a little bit of noise can be acceptable, as long as I'm not trying to submit an image for stock photography or a contest. I've also learned that, while the golden hours might be good for landscape and portrait photography, those are not necessarily the best hours for pet photography. I should try shooting in dog parks earlier in the afternoon. I still don't know what to do about those sunset weddings friends and family ask me to shoot, though. Ugh! I like moving around to get different angles; but I guess, if I ever do another one, I'll have to resort to planting myself in one spot and using a tripod. But, what if they move? I wonder what is the lowest shutter speed I can safely use on a tripod for a wedding.

Thank you so much Carolyn for your great feedback and I'm glad you are picking up some great tips and loving your photography. You are right, a little digital noise is not a problem - and I would rather have an image with some digital noise than no image any day. Regarding lowest shutter speeds for weddings, whilst the tripod will keep the camera steady, the movement will be in the wedding guests and the amount of blur will depend on what they are doing. Example : for guests sitting in the church you might get a great shot at 1/25 (if they are sitting really still), but once the guests are out of their seats and start moving around they will blur and you will need to raise the shutter speed (and the ISO). If you are considering doing a wedding may advice would be to pick up a prime lens (the Canon 50mm f1.8 is a great starter). Best wishes Paul

Excellent explanation of ISO and how to use it. I think this is an under used feature of digital cameras especially for old film photographers. Also, I think many do not realize they can control the ISO settings the camera is allowed to use.

Excellent tutorial, opens up so much more for my photography. Thank you very much Paul. My particular problem is early morning in my wood trying to photograph Deer, low light levels meant (or i thought) a slow shutter speed and hence camera shake. I will try Auto ISO and see what happens.

If it is nice and sunny I usually use 100 to 200, if it is overcast or dim I shoot in A mode or S depending on what I want and let the camera handle the ISO (up to 1600)

Thanks for ur nice time . I learn alot from U.

Cannon 1500D Thanks Heaps I haven't really dabbled with ISO but now I certainly will do. Off to Tassie in a few months and really keen to try my hand at the Aurora Australis and see that most pics are taken with a very high ISO.......Do you raise the ISO when there's bugger all light, and keeping the shutter open too long will create light trails....not always wanted ??.... Also thanks didn't know I had an Auto ISO mode

Excellent video, thanks😷

Thank you, very informative.

Thanks for that , every camera I've had over the last few years , mainly just used aperture mode and occasionally shutter mode, I have played with the iso on occasions but couldn't really work out what I was doing, I've gone back to a compact now just because it's easier to carry about but I will change that auto iso setting now for starters and will pay a bit more. Just subscribed too.

Thaaanks sir.. I love your vedios alot

Great, thorough explanation of iso. I usually watch KZread videos at 1.5x speed. It seems like you already talk pretty fast, but you enunciate so well, I can watch you at 2x speed. It saves a lot of time, over the period of a day, with as many videos as I watch. 1:40 - There are FOUR things that will affect how bright or how dark an image is - don't forget the amount of light. As Marc Wallace from Adorama pointed out - it's an exposure rectangle, not a triangle. Seeing you use that filter reminded me of the good old film days. I remember the fun of using my Cokin filters (in which I had invested tons of money) to get creative. And you didn't know for sure how it turned out for at least 24 hours (which was the fastest film developing at that time). Very important to use a handheld light meter back then, too. Man, what fun! But I'll take digital over film, any day (except just for fun - and a REAL film look).

Cool tutorial 👍.

I can’t buy your t shirt by I really love this vid. This is best vid for best understanding the ISO.

I have an EOS 70d. i’ve had it for seven years and I’m just now trying to get familiar with it. I have it currently set up on a tripod on my patio with the telephoto lens trying to get close-up, detailed photographs of birds and squirrels. But my pictures are still coming out blurry not quite sharp? I have already blurred the background.

Thank you for the explanation of ISO. I still wonder why cameras even offer the higher ISO numbers like 52100 or 102400. Is there even a time when that would be used? Or is it just a marketing scheme by the camera manufacturers that a certain camera ISO will go that high? It certainly seems like the photo taken with the ISO that high would be totally worthless with so much grain in the photo. You are very good at explaining. It almost seems like anything over 3200 or 6400 is almost too much and makes an image too grainy.

thank you for all lessons my camera is canon eos rebel T7 don’t have the function of flash mode what can I do when I take photo in studio?

My cat is enthralled with this video.

Sir, I am from India. I use canon 600D (Rebel T31). Pls tell me how to get histogram to verify after taking photos.

I have a sony dsc hx200v, in manual exposure mode I can find ISO and the F, but there is no option of 1/15 is it a limitation or i just don't know the right configuration?

I have nikon d3500 ..what is the maximum limit i can set for autoiso ?

Golden spiral v rule of thirds which is best?

What I'm sort of missing is the in camera noise reduction when shooting in JPEG and reducing noise in RAW images in post processing.
