@aristotle_4532 10 месяцев назад

@@nasserkaouk Many sources, but you have no control over them because they are on the sensor and its readout and initial processing. These depend on technology specifics, sensor design specs such as required readout speed, and sensor readout mode, and on the required digital white balance. What you can control is light level. If you cannot add light to get better signal per noise on the photon level and on the electronics level, as we do in video, lighting for f5.6 ISO640 1/50 or whatever is required, with proper ISO you are making sure you are avoiding noise from an additional source. This is the noise from the digital signal level on the actual storage format. A RAW or compressed image or video have their own noise floor according to compression type, data rate and bit depth of format. and in modern video formats this is not static because it raises with higher amounts of motion and higher texture detail. If your digital signal is low on the recording format, it will have quantization, which reduces tonality, or even artifacts such as compression blocks and loss of shadow stops in some areas that were fine on the sensor level. A good recording level is a requirement in digital formats, especially compressed ones. Uncompressed floating point color formats will solve this, but it is not yet feasible. Formats that are far better than the sensor also reduce this problem. Most cameras in medium ISO only produce 5 to 6 bits of color, so a very capable high bit depth and low compression format will store the images fine even at low level, and I mean underexposed and in low ISO.

@a__rankin 10 месяцев назад

It's a slightly misleading example though - if you compare properly exposed images across the ISO range the noise will increase with the ISO. Same with grain on film stock. The pro trick here is to prioritise a correct exposure and to know your camera.

@aristotle_4532 10 месяцев назад

@@a__rankin If you have light, you will use it. In technical imaging we do not only light for best image, we also use a custom color filter to eliminate white balance gain/multiplication. This can add two stops to the blue information.

I was stuck in the "ISO 100" mindset for a long time, because the only camera I had was a Lumix from about 2005 with a max ISO of 400. After getting a more modern camera, it took a while for me to realize that I could get some really clean looking shots at higher ISO, especially indoors.

What crasy ISO numbers !!!! I used to photograph with Kodachrome 64 (only 64 ISO) or Fuji Provia 400F or 400X (400 ISO). For mooving subjects in bad lighting, I had to turn to B&W with Ilford Delta 1000 (pushed to 3200 and developped in XTol, even then it was quite grainy)... You should really hold the camera stady with Kodachrome 64 if not using a tripod, and it was either no depth of field or not enough shutter speed, often both lacking (but what a great film non the less)... but... I could have never gotten this soaring howl picture with those low ISO ! 📷

@Dreyno 10 месяцев назад

I moved to auto ISO for most handheld shooting years ago. I was reticent to use auto anything but I realised I was missing potentially great shots all over the place in my quest for low ISO, super detailed images. Now I stick with auto ISO unless it’s a landscape shot on a tripod. A sharp shot with ISO 800 is better than a blur at ISO 100 every single time.

@j3nn3s 10 месяцев назад

Similar here: When using manual flashes, I use a fixed ISO. Otherwise I use the custom settings for quickly switching between the "people" setting with a shutter speed not slower than a 1/200th of a second and whatever ISO necessary and other frequent use cases. It doesn't help the foto if it's virtually noise free but OTOH the person in the image suffers from motion blur.

@wolphin732 10 месяцев назад

For fast shots... found my camera does 100-25600 with acceptable grain/noise, so have auto-ISO set to do it. Did an entire convention without touching my flash at all without much issue.

@Dreyno 10 месяцев назад

@@wolphin732 I’ve used back button focus for the last 7 years. Would never go back to focusing with the shutter.

I must tell you something: This is the first time I've heard this advice and I really understood perfectly how the signal-to-noise ratio applied to sensors works (since I'm an electronics graduate as well as a photographer). Everything became logical after your explanation. In addition, the new denoise function in Lightroom had already prompted me to increase the ISO in my photos, with amazing results. I, who had even forgotten about the automatic ISO function on my Nikon, went and started using it in conjunction with the manual exposure controls. I really liked the results and I didn't see any photos where denoise was essential. This post of yours deserves to be printed out and put up on my wall. A big hug and sincere thanks.

@johnquaffel110 5 месяцев назад

However I feel your explanation is introducing the misconception that gain/iso balances exposure and one can trade one for the other easily. However, ideally, just talking about a satisfactory SNR (not taking artistic factors into acount, e.g. minimizing exposure time), exposure and gain reach a minimum below which higher gain levels cannot compensate low exposure. Which is, because signal increases linearly with exposure but noise only with square root. Whereas shifting signal+noise levels with gain are both linearly proportional to each other. Or did I get that wrong (I just know from my time working with detectors for electron radiation, we needed to consider just that)

The real trick is taking the time to learn the limits of your camera in terms of ISO performance. It is important to know where the tipping point of a camera is in acceptable high ISO noise. Once you know the upper limit, you can set the ISO range for using auto ISO. In terms of cropping there is an old adage that states " if you think you are close enough, get closer".

@leemarkowitz4709 10 месяцев назад

His point is that there is no limit where you’re better off just underexposing the shot. If you can create more light by adjusting the shutter speed or aperture, that is sometimes preferable. If you cannot, then you must raise the ISO as much as needed.

@stickgarrote8582 10 месяцев назад

The upper limit comes from what the image is for. If you’re just shooting for your own enjoyment, there is no limit but when you work for a client, you have to know what the requirements for a usable image are. Sometimes it can be flexible, other times there’s a hard limit and you have to plan your gear accordingly.

@leemarkowitz4709 10 месяцев назад

@@stickgarrote8582 That sounds like situations where the lighting is too poor to produce a professional image, not situations where underexposing the shot is better than raising the ISO. That’s the lighting exceeding a limit, not the ISO.

@Case_ 10 месяцев назад

The simple truth is every camera absolutely *does* have an upper limit where raising ISO *will* produce worse results and as such this point should only really be crossed as a last resort and certainly not without consideration, and that many cameras *do* use auto ISO in a way that raises the ISO way too much way too quickly for the intended result, increasing the noise and decreasing dynamic range as a result while gaining nothing. So as always in photography, if you want to get the best results, learn to use your camera to its maximum potential and know its strengths and weaknesses inside out so you can take advantage of the strengths and avoid the weaknesses. Which is photography 101, really, and applies to any camera you'll ever use, be it a simple point-and-shoot (or camera phone) or an expensive full-frame DSLR with lenses that cost a small fortune.

@leemarkowitz4709 10 месяцев назад

@@Case_ So you’re saying it is better to underexpose and brighten in post-processing than raise the ISO beyond the alleged limit?

@boceskia 10 месяцев назад

The sensor dynamic range decreases at higher ISO, it's not just the noise and SNR ratio. Having said that, a lot of full frame cameras retain more than satisfactory dynamic range until ISO 2000, even ISO 3200. This is more important for landscapes. In regards to noise, what you say is completely accurate.

@BillFerris 10 месяцев назад

A good approach is to choose the widest lens aperture (smallest f-number) that delivers an adequate depth of field and the slowest shutter speed that will freeze movement to your liking without blowing out important highlights. Those settings not only control two important creative elements of a photo, they also determine exposure and the amount of light used to make the photo. From there, choose an ISO - or delegate that choice to the camera through auto ISO - that delivers an image having a pleasing lightness. The more attention given to those creative settings of f-stop and shutter speed, the higher the likelihood you'll make pleasing photos...at any ISO.

And unfortunately digital noise exists also, maybe even more, in colour, while film grains is only in luminance. Yeah, today I can shoot ISO 3200 with my phone, no problem. And of course you need to understand exposure time and your subject, because shooting landscapes, or even more waterscapes and infrastructure, is totally different from shooting wildlife or sports. In the first case you sometimes use ND filters to make exposure longer on purpose.

@bryanmckenzie1089 10 месяцев назад

I grew up in photography. My father was a great photographer. I became a lab manager for other photographers. Back then we used film and if you used anything over 400 ASA the photos would have a lot of grain or noise in them. So everyone would try to shoot with 100 , 64 or 25 ASA. ASA changed to ISO in 1974. People think that ASA was for film and ISO was for digital, but this isn't the case. If you have a film that is ASA 400 or 400 ISO, they have the exact same light sensitivity as one another. But you probably already new this. Everyone thought that digital would never be as good as film. I'm guilty of this. Since I started shooting wildlife I quickly found out that auto ISO is the way to go! The information you provide is priceless! I look forward to your videos, they have taught me a lot. Thank you!

The gain knob analogy is absolutely spot-on. In audio recordings, it works EXACTLY like that. Every room has noise, but bringing the gain knob higher, you make it more evident if there's no clear signal being sent to the microphone to increase the signal to noise ratio.

When I started photography (60 years ago) it was all about film, and the standard film was 100 ASA (which became ISO). It was based on normal lighting in the middle of the day for shooting at f8 and 100th second. The only other option was 400 ASA film for sports, or if you were using transparency film (which was the best by far) you could get 32 ASA film that was great for anything where your subject was static. Digital changed everything.

I usually carried two bodies because the one with the 25 in it was unusable so much of the time because of it not being bright enough to shoot without a tripod.

I recently started photography but the person that sold me the camera explained to that the exposure triangle was basically like our vision: ISO = brain, aperture = iris, shutter speed = eyelids. From that I vaguely understood that they all need to be balanced suitably for what you want in your photo. However, I fully understood when I tried taking a picture of a flower in the wind and I realised I’d need to increase the shutter speed which made it darker. I’m not in any photography spaces so I was unaware of the forbidden ISO > 100 rule. Good to know I’m on the right track though!

To be honest, old cameras were very noisy back in the day. Before 2010, there were many cameras which were noisy as hell even at ISO800 and 1600 was the limit. There werent so much auto settings for ISO and minimal shutter speed, so its not only about learning the lesson of ISO. I learned to shoot at very high ISO through birding because you have f/5,6 - 6,3 apertures and need 1/1000 or higher and have to accept what the camera tells you and you cant and wont buy a 600mm f4 lens for a hobby to get around this a little bit. Most pictures look noisy because of wrong focus or wrong shutter speed.

I learned not to worry too much about ISO back in the film era! In my country (and possibly elsewhere too?) the newspapers stopped using film and went fully digital all at the same time. (I don't remember what year it was). This meant that the camera stores had a big surplus of 800 ISO films that they could no longer sell to the press photographers. So these films suddenly became cheaper than the 200 ISO films that we amateurs usually bought. And I got great results with ISO 800! Noise was much less of a problem than I had anticipated. It took me some time to fully understand why this was so, but using higher ISO was a good lesson.

That was years ago before the huge improvements in noise reduction that have improved it a lot. Now I don't generally go too much over 3200, I heavily prioritize shutter speed and aperture on most shots. One thing that was very helpful to me in the beginning was guessing the correct exposure settings - then seeing how off I am based on the camera auto-settings, then also really understanding metering and range pictograph. It all really comes back down to understanding light then applying that to how a digital camera captures it. If you've never dived into how camera sensors work - it is very helpful. I will say video is less forgiving - but as far as photography goes, use that ISO! :)

From what I learned you prioritize aperture and shutter speed according to the subject and adjust ISO accordingly as long as the noise level is still acceptable. Aperture = to get the target depth of field and hyperfocal distance. Shutter speed = to get the proper speed to capture. still, slow. or fast moving subjects. There is a limit where you just have to stop increasing the ISO because of the noise amplification and artifacts it produces and you just have to with slightly change/compromise the ideal shutter speed or aperture to get a balanced result.

Honestly your explanation on auto iso is right on point. I used to shoot full manual exclusively but you’d always get burners for either tests or if you’re shouting a quickly moving subject in a highly dynamic scene. Auto iso just completes your exposure within your given parameters. I know that if I’m using auto iso I will at least get an image that could be milked in processing to make a usable image. With that being said I am always keeping an eye on my iso to make sure that my shutter speed and aperture are not hindering the cameras ability to capture the scene at an acceptable iso. You do need to understand a proper exposure to make youse of auto iso

The latter eliminates motion blur (e.g. I don't let it go below 1/500 in auto-mode), but if suddenly "too much" light hits the sensor (light levels are constantly changing in an event shoot), the camera can instantly increase this value for the correct exposure.

Excellent example of the seascape and landscape action shots.
