ISO 100

This photo was shot at ISO 100 to give the image the highest color and sharpness, plus best tonalities, while keeping noise low.


Digital noise is minimal throughout this photo, but it did require using a tripod because a slower shutter
speed (1/3 second) was used.



Did You Know?
You generally get the best picture quality by using the lowest ISO setting your camera offers, such as ISO 100 or 200. A high setting, such as ISO 1600, will have considerably more digital noise.

Photo Tip!
Although digital noise is generally an unwanted characteristic of a digital photo, you can use it as a creative design element. In the days of traditional film, photographers often used grain to add a romantic look to their
people and travel photos.

Did You Know?
When you edit a digital photo with an image editor such as Photoshop Elements, you are likely to get more noticeable digital noise when you perform steps such as increasing contrast, adjusting saturation, and sharpening an image.
