ISO – Most…………………………..are probably familiar with ISO on film used in a ………………..camera. It’s the ‘speed’ of the film they put into the camera – …………………… ISO values mean you can take photos in……………………… light. Surprisingly, there is an ISO setting on your…………………… camera even though there is no film, the ISO setting still plays a vital role. ………………………. indicates your digital camera’s …………………………… to light. The………………………………the number, the …………………….light is needed to take a photo that is correctly exposed (not too ………………….or too light). In bright light (like a sunny day), you’ll normally use ……………………….or ISO 100. These ……………………………..settings can be used because there is lots of light around. But in lower light, your camera needs some…………………………………...

There are two ways of doing this:

Lowering Shutter Speed - With a …………………………… shutter speed, the camera has …………………….. time to ‘take in’ the amount of light it needs. Unfortunately though, the slower the …………………………, the more chance that your images will…………………………..

Increase ISO - Rather than …………………………………..the shutter speed, you can increase the ISO, this will increase the sensitivity of the camera which means you can get the ……………………..shot with less light entering the camera. Thus the shutter speed can be ………………………………………….. enough to avoid………………………. As increasing the ISO will increase the shutter speed, a…………………………… ISO will also help when taking ……………………………………….. sports shots. You’ll get ……………………………., crisp shots with no blur.

However, Using a higher ISO means the camera has ………………………………………… to work with which means that ‘………………………………’ is introduced into your camera (grain). Your camera’s highest ISO value will produce a lot of noise in your image.

Auto ISO - Fortunately most of the time you don’t need to worry about selecting the correct ISO. Most cameras have an “……………………………………..” setting. With Auto ISO, the camera will look at the amount of light in the scene and ……………………………………the ISO appropriately so that the shutter speed doesn’t get too slow.
