depende pud sa lighting
some might see indoor light even hayag kaayo but still artificial and not the equivalent sa adlaw
dont think nga visible to the eye hayag na
daghan kaayo lighting elements nga ang maka kita ang sensor ra sa cam
that you should also consider

ISO and Image Noise Share on Facebook

ISO and image noise are like Hansel and Gretel, Lewis and Clark or peanut butter and jelly: they just go together.

An increase in ISO also causes an increase in image noise.

Having said that, modern digital SLR cameras are getting better and better about suppressing noise even at high ISO settings.

If all this sounds like a lot of jibberish to you, don't worry. I'll explain myself in a just moment.

ISO Defined
Let's begin this discussion by defining what ISO means.

The letters ISO come from the Greek work for "equal" (isos). These three letters have been adopted by the International Organization for Standardization, but ISO is not an acronym for the organization.

That's fine, but what does the Greek word for "equal" have to do with a digital SLR?

The ISO number indicates how quickly a camera's sensor absorbs light.

ISO numbers follow a common scale on all digital SLR cameras:

100 200 400 800 1600 3200

The higher the ISO number, the faster the camera sensor absorbs light.

ISO: Your Low-Light Friend
Increasing the ISO setting on your digital camera is most frequently used when you're taking photos in dim light.

When there's not a lot of available light, your camera automatically slows down the shutter speed to capture a balanced exposure. A slow shutter speed means that the shutter stays open longer, giving the sensor plenty of time to gather light.

Unfortunately, there's a problem associated with this: when the shutter stays open for long periods of time, any motion is captured as blur.

•If your subjects move when you're using a slow shutter speed, they appear blurry (assuming the camera is stable)
•If you're holding the camera in your hands, the entire photo appears blurry (due to camera shake)
One way to deal with the problem of slow shutter speeds and motion blur in dim light is a simple one: just add more light to the scene using some type of electronic flash.

The additional light from the flash will ensure that your subjects and photos turn out nice and clear.

But consider the following two scenarios:

1.You're taking portraits of a friend on an overcast day, and for aesthetic reasons you don't want to use any light from flash (since this light isn't flattering for portrait subjects)
2.You're on vacation and find yourself inside an immense building begging to be photographed - there's no way the puny flash on your camera will light up all that space
Since you can't - or don't want to - use flash in either one of these cases, how can you increase the shutter speed so that your all your photos don't look blurry?

The answer is ISO.

Since an increase in the ISO makes the sensor absorb light FASTER, the shutter doesn't have to stay open for such long periods of time.

Voila! Clear photos even in dim light - without using a flash.

Want an extreme example? With a camera set to ISO 1600, you should be able to take clear photos indoors at night with overhead light...no tripod required.

Unfortunately - like so many other things in life - you don't get this amazing benefit without some consequence.

Let's Make Some Noise
No, I'm not talking about what goes on when a garage band is rehearsing for their next big gig. That's audio noise.

In this case we're talking about visual - or image - noise.

Image noise is the by-product of using a high ISO setting on your digital SLR camera — it is also often called "grain".

When a photo has image noise, areas of color that should look smooth have a mottled or speckled appearance.


Image noise is easiest to see in areas of shadow and in large areas of consistent color - like blue sky.

At ISO 100, you'll be hard-pressed to see digital image noise. This is the setting of choice for photographers who want to make large prints — the more you enlarge a digital image, the easier it is to see noise.

At ISO 400, you might be able to see some grain in your photos and at ISO 3200 it will definitely be visible.

We now arrive to a point of great debate: how do different digital SLR cameras handle image noise at high ISO settings?

Noise Suppression
While this may sound like popping in some earplugs, it's actually something that your digital camera does every time you take a photo.

As mentioned above, a high ISO setting will add noise to your photo.

At the same time, your digital SLR is trying to compensate: it's "filtering" out the noise so that the image doesn't look like a grainy mess.

This is why you might still have a very hard time seeing image noise even at ISO 800 with some cameras.

Both Canon and Nikon digital SLR cameras have been praised for their ability to keep high ISO noise at a minimum, which gives photographers a lot of flexibility when shooting in low light.

Every time a new digital SLR camera is released, the immediate debate begins: how well does it handle noise at high ISO?

Pundits and amateurs alike go back and forth about the threshold: the ISO setting where noise becomes visible in your digital photos. Some claim the noise starts at ISO 400, while others will swear it's 800.

All nitpicking aside, here's the takeaway point: not all digital SLRs produce noise in the same way, and some are better at reducing it than others.

Buying Tip
Look for a camera with low noise at high ISO if:

•You enjoy taking photos in dim available light
•You enjoy natural light images and don't want to use your flash a lot
•You don't want to lug around a tripod all the time
Don't make ISO noise into a big issue if:

•You intend to take photos during the daytime in plenty of light
•You don't mind carrying a tripod to keep the camera stable
•Faced with a low-light scene, you'd rather pop the flash than fiddle with ISO

Mao diay ni .... hehe

Ahehehe... thanks bro. But too bad point-and-shoot ra akong gear.

Ahehehe... thanks bro. But too bad point-and-shoot ra akong gear.

Palit nalang ug DSLR Bro kay mabitin lang ka ana imong PS nya dili pa gyud ka katulog ug tarong ... hehehe

[arisarnado]

Hmmm... If familiar ka sa Apas Gym, if siga tanang suga, maka freeze nko ug action at 1600 (mga 1/180 or 1/250 shutter speed) pero if dili tanan siga ("standard" nila) 3200 gyud ka bay

Suya ko sa among kauban na full frame... yano ra kaayo ang ISO 10000 :P

Bro kanang basketball in a gym, ISO 400 setting ana? Saon pag-freeze sa action bro? ...tia

[arisarnado]

OK ra man ang PnS... problem lang is ang shutter lag if ganahan ka ug kalit2x na shots the noisy pud on higher ISOs Pero dili kaayo ko ma-affect sa noise (Naa may NeatImage to the rescue)... ang shutter lag lang gyud ang dili nko ganahan. Sayang ang moments.

Ahehehe... thanks bro. But too bad point-and-shoot ra akong gear.

i have no flash when shooting gigs
(na adik sa poker gibaligya ang flash)
i usually go for 1600
