ISO comparisons
ISO comparisons refer to evaluating and standardizing camera sensor sensitivity, which affects how bright or dark a photo appears in different lighting conditions. ISO numbers indicate the sensor’s sensitivity; lower numbers (like 100 or 200) mean less sensitivity, resulting in cleaner images in bright light. Higher numbers (like 1600 or 3200) increase sensitivity for low-light situations but can introduce more grain or noise. Comparing ISO settings helps photographers choose the right balance between brightness and image quality based on their environment, ensuring consistent results across different cameras and conditions.
