Wonderful site bernadette. Thank you so much for sharing. I am still very confused about ISO setting. I know about it lighter and darker but not sure where I set it at. It talks about ISO but nothing, even in my Lumix camera book explains how to set it.
@miata2u well Peggy, as far my knowledge goes,I have it all the time on 100 for normal daylight etc. the only time I bump it up is in low light where i dont want to use flash, church, animals, where flash photography is forbidden.or do you mean where it is on your camera??
ISO impacts how sensitive your camera is to light. Lower ISO numbers, like 100 give the best quality, but need a lot of light, so it is good in bright scenes, like outdoors. When you start increasing ISO, your camera gets more sensitive to light, so it needs less light to get the shot, but you sacrifice quality and start to get some noise in the pictures. Typically 400 is decent for indoor shots with a flash, but your images won't be as noise-free as if you shot at 100. When you get 800 or more, there is a high chance of noticeable noise, but you can get more shots in lower light. At concerts, I set my ISO to 800 or 1600, otherwise the camera wouldn't be able to take the shot quick enough to prevent blur. The image quality is balanced for getting any type of shot without motion blur.
