Maybe you just bought your new camera and you can see that there are a lot of modes to use, and at the same time a lot of settings to tweak. In most modern digital cameras you can find that it has a changeable ISO setting. It can go down to as low as ISO 80 or as high as ISO 6400, depending on the camera you have. So what is ISO setting for? You ISO setting let you take a good photograph even if you’re working under a dim area or indoors.
You can tweak your ISO setting so you can easily capture high-speed moments in low light. Examples of this would involve indoor sports activity, churches, arts galleries, meetings and birthday parties. Depending on the situation and the amount of lighting, your ISO setting could be higher or lower. What is ISO standard for outdoor settings? ISO for outdoor settings can range from ISO 80 to ISO 200 depending on the amount of light outdoors. When the sun is fairly bright, you can go for ISO 80, and if it’s a bit dim or cloudy, ISO 200 can do the trick.
What is ISO standard for sports? You can start as high as 1600 for indoor sports and you can add your camera flash to help capture the moment. Experiment with your settings, because if you allow your ISO setting to be too high with a camera flash, it will burn the image too much and you won’t have much to work with but overexposed pictures. It’s always a trial and error procedure when it comes to low lighting or not enough lighting, so you have to be quick to adjust as the situation calls for it.
There are a lot of other ISO settings out there, and these are some of the basics that you have to remember when playing around with your ISO settings. Don’t be afraid to take a lot of pictures just to get the right settings, because digital cameras don’t need film, so you don’t have to spend as much as with film cameras. So just take your camera and keep shooting!
