ISO setting - what it really means ?
More newbie questions.
I am just wondering what the ISO rating in a digital camera really means. On film it is the light sensitivity of the film itself. But for digital camera the light sensitivity of the CCD-sensor does not change. What does change when the ISO setting is altered ? Another question : does the ISO rating of different digital cameras match one another - i.e., correspond to the same light sensitivity ? Also, does the ISO setting of digital cameras matches with the ISO number of the film ? That is, if in a particular situation for ISO 100 on a film camera, the correct exposure setting is 60/F4, will that be true for a digital camera set at ISO 100 as well (using the same lens) ? -- Gautam Majumdar Please send e-mails to |
