ISO Basics
I've published a new Ebook called "A Concise Introduction to Photography": ethanwilding.com ISO is a measure of the sensitivity of your film or electronic sensor. In this episode I talk about the principles of ISO and how it relates to publicity and noise. [Yes, I recognize this movie is much more than ninety seconds the title is for my collection of intro to photography movies, and the objective is to briefly make clear each concept in about that short time frame, even though not all of them will conform precisely that limit.]

Sense cost-free to donate: www.paypal.com The Nikon D5100 and the Canon T38 (600D) are both great beginner DSLRs. If you presently have possibly Nikon or Canon gear stick with your model. If you are likely into the DSLR marketplace for online video then go with the Canon's as they have a better monitor report for online video recording despite the fact that the D5100 has the same video specs as the 600D. The D5100 is a better alternative for newbie photographers because it has a lot more effects for your images and a far better manual to educate you how to grow to be a photographer. The 600D has far better video clip settings for people who know how to use the handbook mode simply because you can manage the aperture and shutter velocity in video mode with the EOS movie method.

THANK YOU!!! i just bought a new sony camera and the light balance is soooo offf because the ISO thingy was set at it's highest. at first i thought there was something wrong with the camera and wanted to send it back but now i don't have to
)
thanks man.. this is very informative and clear information about ISO.. I learned so much
Hi Iso for aesthetic value that sounds like cutting an Elephants trunk of for more aesthetic value.
keep em coming
wow, thank you, you really know how to make tutorials and in a such short time, i wish internet existed when i attended university, my photography teacher had no clue how to transmit his knowledge.. TY!!!
@feerof Hi Feerof. Nope. You can set the camera so that it thinks it has, say, a 400 speed film in it when, in actual fact, you've loaded a 200 speed film. Equally, you can convince the camera you've put a slower film, say 200 speed, in your camera when you've actually loaded a faster film (higher than 200 in this case)
When you go to process the film you Push or Pull the developing time of the film (in essence meaning you develope it longer or shorter than you would normally)
@jearon9251 Hi Jearon. ISO stands for the International Standards Organisation. They pretty much set industry standards across all fields (not necessarily just photography, although the term seems most applicable in this field)
@MAFaried Camera manufacturers make high-ISO cameras so that you can shoot in low-light situations, as well as to help you achieve faster shutter speeds in a variety of situations (such as during sporting events where there is insufficient light for fast shutter speeds and low-iso settings). Fortunately, recent sensor developments have made High-ISO images quite acceptable; in the past, noise / digital artifacts were a serious concern at High-iso settings.
So why the camera manufacturers are making cameras that can shoot at 3200 iso? in other words when do we use the higher iso values?
Thanks, I learned something new
I'm learning alot from your videos but this particular one confused me a bit with the flash thing. It says low ISO is good for flash photography, while high ISO is good for no flash photography. While low iso requires more direct sunlight, doesn't it mean that you wont be using Flash for this? While indoors there are less light, you need a higher ISO for light, but to keep it low, don't you need to use flash for indoors?
this is real educational .... thanks for making it easy to understand.
short and to the point and most of all CLEAR......
hi there. asking about the iso. what is the neaming of ISO???
@ulufilms Ok cool very useful video
@TommyPh500d That's why I called it "Photography in (about) 90 seconds" on the title screen.
This is longer than 90 secs but very use full video
thnks...
VERY helpful! thank you!
Another name that's to do with sensitivity there called ASA and DIN. I think they were used for old cameras and filming ones like 8mm film. I don't know if ASA and DIN are still being used for todays cameras but for old cameras back then they regarded it as ASA and DIN speeds.
Very nice. I'm a complete idiot with cameras and you've just explained something that would have taken me ages to get on the internet... LOL. Regarding the ISO settings... I just recently found my dad's Minolta x-700, and I'm planning to use it if it works, but my question is, do I have to change the film in order to achieve different ISO settings? Like I said, I'm totally new to photography, forgive me for my ignorance =P
wow I've been watching like 5 min videos about iso and you explained it in this little bit of time bravo lol
Nice though really
Remember, if you plan to use an SD card for videos in any camera, look what class it is rated. You want Class 6 or higher. The higher the number the better. Some SD cards will have the storage rate per second printed on it. In my Canon T3i I have a 32 GB/ 30 MB/s SD card in it. 32 GigaBite of storage at a rate of 32 GigaBites per second. If you choose for those cheap SD cards than your camera will run a lot slower trying to store your image or video into the memory card.
I am glad I got the Canon T3i because I will be doing more videos and photos. I looked at the Nikon D5100 also but found the Canon better to fit my use. The Canon T3i uses your regular USB cable whereas the Nikon, you have to use a Nikon special USB cable. I did not want that because if I travel and I don't have my special Nikon USB cable I am stuck. With Canon, I can just borrow the USB cable from anyone or from my laptop.
@lyrics2025
i can shoot 45 min on the Ti3 straight with a 16 gig card
@shouldigetit I agree but you are either into video or stills, rarely both, or is that just me...lol
@Generaleenutts I do agree with you to an extent. DSLR's are superb for film making, video from DSLR's is much different then video from a camcorder. Show me a camcorder that shoots full 1080p HD at 30fps, has manual exposure, and switchable lenses which costs less than a DSLR.
Does it matter what make of camera, i'm in the canon camp, if you want to shoot video buy a camcorder for christ sake, stills buy a DSLR, why put them together. Too much crap on cameras today, special effects and all, shoot clean then add the effects, shoot with the effect your stuck with them. I've still got a Canon Eos 400D dSLR, its reliable and works well, image is not about Megapixels, most people print their images at 6x4 or 7x5 not 8foot by 6 foot any photographer will tell you that.
@AntiAmericanHater Show off much?
@believein3stars Nikon D5100 takes better pictures than Canon 600D. Only two good things Canon has that Nikon does not have Wireless flash control + Build in motor. If you don't care about those things go for Nikon.
If I were to use one for wrestling and football, which one would be better.
@1:50 get a a55 then
@shouldigetit The t3i and how is the video on it? does it get choppy with that sd card?
@lyrics2025 Which Camera?
With the T3i I use the Transcend 16gb SDHC card.
@shouldigetit Do you like this camera and what sd card do you recommend?
@lyrics2025 20 minutes at a time.
So the T3I can only record for 20 min. Is that in total and then the card is filled up, or you can only do 20 min at a time?
@believein3stars Either one should be good. Look at what lenses you want and the prices on Canon/Nikon to see what prices intrigue you more.
Good Review!! But I'm more into nice quality picture.. like landscape (Nature, Animals) and portrait.. So should I take the Nikon d5100?
@SamanthaaSays Canon all the way.
i want to make fashion videos as well as take fashion pictures and make a blog?? - is a canon better?
Hey if you need Photoshop use pixlr.com . It's like Photoshop but a little bit more confusing but look at the bright side it's free.
@shouldigetit which is better for photography?
@AVsDproductions Canon.
Which is better for video
@sundressesandknives Go canon.
I FINALLY saved up enough money for either one.
This will be my FIRST DSLR camera..i've never used one so i don't know exactly how to work it, but i need an honest opinion form someone on which one i should get as a beginner?
