The ISO mode indicates the sensibility of your camera that is preset to account for specific lighting conditions. You use high ISO modes when taking pictures in low lighting situations, as high as 20,000 and you use low ISO modes as 100 when taking photos in bright light conditions. This means that it applies various compensations along with increasing or decreasing the exposure time to end up with useful images. Most of the time, the camera you have either does not even present ISO values when self-adjusting exposure or present these values to you as an indication of its operating range. | The ISO mode indicates the sensibility of your camera that is preset to account for specific lighting conditions.

In some particular cases, such as when you want to obtain a specific grainier look, you may artificially increase the ISO mode value, if your camera allows. Decreasing this value is not recommended as you end up with too dark pictures to be usable in most conditions. You may attempt an artistic effect on a bright direct sunlight, but it is debatable if this is worth. | In some particular cases, such as when you want to obtain a specific grainier look, you may artificially increase the ISO mode value, if your camera allows.

In the past, the ISO mode had a direct impact on image captures as specific photographic film formulation were used for typical outdoor use and others for indoor use. | ||
<code>''Most of the time, you do not need to adjust the preset ISO mode. However I highly advise you to keep track of the current active preset in some lighting conditions to determine if you are operating beyond your usual camera optimal range.''</code> | <code>''Most of the time, you do not need to adjust the preset ISO mode.
