Mark W. Decker is an experienced photographer with a deep understanding of camera settings, particularly ISO, which adjusts a camera's sensitivity to light. Lower ISO ratings preserve image quality in well-lit conditions, while higher ratings are used to capture motion or compensate for low light environments, sometimes resulting in graininess. Photographers may intentionally use higher ISO settings for a vintage aesthetic.

An explanation of iso
- 1. By Mark W. Decker
- 2. Mark W. Decker, an experienced photographer, maintains an in-depth knowledge of camera settings and tools. Mark W. Decker frequently uses ISO settings to make the best use of available light. ISO, one of the most common acronyms in photography, refers to the camera setting that can adjust its sensitivity to light. The acronym itself stands for International Standards Organization, the body that standardizes all camera sensor sensitivity ratings. Lower ratings indicate a lower sensitivity to light, while higher ratings mean that the camera in that moment is more sensitive to light.
- 3. The sensitivity in a camera comes from its image sensor. The lower the sensitivity, the longer the sensor takes to get enough light to take the picture. Lower ISO settings are most effective at capturing detail and preserving image quality, provided that there is enough light. Most cameras make it easier for the photographer to strike this balance by providing a base ISO, or the lowest setting at which image quality is clear. Photographers looking to capture a moving subject may increase the ISO to freeze the motion while ensuring sufficient light exposure. Similarly, indoor photographers may increase ISO to reduce subject motion and minimize blurriness. Although this may create graininess, photographers in search of a vintage look may choose this effect intentionally.
