Lower ISO for low light, if you use a high ISO in low light the picture will come out grainy

High ISO for higher light

there's more to it than that but that's the basic premmis

Where's the photography people at? My fiance picked up a new starter camera to get familiar with things and I was wondering about the ISO settings. Basically I was hoping someone could explain what a good setting for that is and why. I've read some online discussions but still thought I'd ask as I am still a little confused.

My limited understanding says that there is no 'good' setting to keep it at. The setting needs to vary depending on lighting and the subject.

Thanks for the info guys, I will experiment a little tomorrow after I clean her up, change my heater core, dist cap & rotor and most importantly.....GET THE JEWELS IN. :lol:

Excited.

I don't really have any GOOD pictures of the car, hope they turn out ok.

The last book of stamps I bought had no price on them and according to USPS website, would always be valid no matter the price of stamps. Is it beyond cheap if I think I should buy like $100 of them to hedge against rising mail costs? :lol:

Speaking of cheap, anyone ever tip for basic counter service? I find it a bit annoying when regularly waged counter staff put a tip cup out. I'm always more surprised to see money in it.

It really depends on the camera. The better the camera, typically the better the ISO performance at high ISO. Experiment with the camera, pixel peep at the different ISO settings and see how the camera performs. Once the image starts to get blotchy (grainy) with reddish pixels then you know your ISO threshold for that camera. As Travis said, the lower the ISO setting the cleaner the image and the less sensitivity to light the sensor has. ISO can make the difference in getting the shot, if you're hand holding with poor technique, 1/60th is going to be about your limit. If you're shooting wide open at ISO 100 at 1/40th, you can bump ISO up 2 stops and be shooting at 1/60th to get sharp images. I often shoot at ISO1600 to ISO 3200 w/ no issues.
