I recently started going up to 640,800 on my Canon 5D MkIV, and it really helped me when lighting big spaces, especially luxury ones where I wanted that professionally lit look. I was shocked initially at how little difference it made in terms in noise, it changed everything for me. Don't fear the iso, thanks for this video! Also as a musician, comparing ISO to the gain knob was a perfect description and actually changed my way of thinking of ISO.
Very good video, Nathan, as usual. As a sports photog who regularly shoots higher shutter speeds in low light, high ISO situations I had to chuckle at the fear of shooting at above ISO 100. ISO 3200 is pretty darn good in my world - 8,000 is much more common. BTW, several years ago, I read your book, started using Nikon NX-D and now advocate for using OEM software in my own videos.
Thank you so much for these tips on high ISO. I just recently learned about ETTR and tried it at a wrestling tournament yesterday. Shooting with ISO 8000 - 10000 at 1/1000 sec and mostly f/2.8, the colors popped much better than underexposing at lower ISO and even slower shutter speed but the detail suffered quite a bit (especially facial features and hair). Time to try your suggestions and see how much detail I can recover. Thanks again! Subscribed, liked, and saved for future reference.
Since you're struggling with that, I'd suggest downloading my e-book on interior real estate photography, which talks in-depth as to why I recommend certain exposure settings, including ISO, and how to properly use them. Here's a link to check it out: amzn.to/3uznAYt

This is not a tutorial. This is a masterclass. Very good.

Great explanation. Very useful. Thanks. And thanks for being gear / brand agnostic! The best photography channel on YT IMO!
Absolutely loved this you tube video Nathon.It was so helpful.
Good info. Never thought about the dynamic range affected. Thanks!

Nathan, that's qiite liberating knowledge. I've been using TTR routinely for a long time, and this takes that to the next step.
Will definitely try this out myself. Great video and very helpful. Wonder how much I can push in a dark finished basement.
Great and informative video! What tripod and monopod do you use for 360 real estate photography?
Thanks! I break down the "whats" with the "whys" and "hows" in my e-book on interiors, here's a link if you want to check that out: amzn.to/3xmmizQ
Thank you
Such an informative video
Great video! Very helpful
Excellent tutorial, as usual. I'll try this, mainly on indoors shots.
I still don't understand why do you always use ISO 320, even in well lit conditions ?
