Through animation, I explain the notion of ISO. ISO is one of the three pillars of photography and can be one of the hardest to fully understand. I tried to make that task a little easier, and hopefully teach aspiring photographers a crucial concept that can directly impact their photos.

Why do you release videos every month? Your videos are straightforward and very easy to understand. No long-winded complicated explanation. One of the best simplified explanation about photography! Keep it up. I am a fan
I'm busy with school, so I don't have as much time to make videos, but as I begin to travel more I should have more content.
@@Apalapse school?, In which Grade you are?😊
Another solid and informative video! Really great animations, and easy to understand for people who are just getting into photography. Keep up the awesome work!
the explanations, the animations, the comparison and the analogies are perfect, thats literally how i learn and this video helped me so much. Great video thank you
This is the most innovative tutorial I've seen on UA-cam. Thank you for your amazing work!
The whisper was creepy
Amsr 🙃

"Brilliant" is the one word for you. Totally amazing description.
Thank You.
Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for the visuals and analogies. This is the first time that something online has explained ISO in a way I can understand!
The implementation of “O” in the background is superb.
The background music is so good that it did not let me focus on the video.
The best beginner video on YT, hands down....Thanks again!
I love the simplicity of explaining iso and aperature. thank you!
The best channel there is. Thank you for such simple and effective explanation
I want to say thanks for providing to the point Videos. The examples used makes it easier to remember the concept.
Thank you for this, this is something I have been struggling with as a new photographer trying to figure things out, I mainly take pictures of cars, normally inside buildings and sometimes lighting isn't that good, and they would turn out grainy, now I know how to avoid this
I am glad you found this hepful. ISO will amplify noise already present in your images. To get cleaner images you need to let more light into the camera, either through increasing exposure time through shutter speed or exposure gain through aperture. Of course, depth of field and motion blur are constraints that will limit those two camera settings, but that is the art of photography; finding that balance :) Thanks for watching and commenting, have a nice day!
Wow!! you have explained this technical things so well. Awesome.
Thank you.
Love these vids! Keep em coming.
3:07 Why the green photon bounces so weirdly ?
this is a GREAT video..it helped me a lot with taking photos for my project I can't thank you enough I so much appreciate it 🙆🏻♀️
Thanks for this video-well presented-easy to understand-"I needed that"
I enjoyed your video :) Keep it up!
thank you.
thank you so much!! i’m about to go on a trip soon and am hoping to take lots of photos with a new camera i just got, and these videos help so much!!!
This is so well explained. Thanks man
Excellent video. Keep it up!
Will do!
I just discovered this and I love it❤
I thought it was Coldplay ! Great video, lovingthe animations and the explanations 😊
you clicked my mind in a sample example, nice video, well explained... thank you
Cool! Brilliant analogy.
You made ISO explanation soooo simple. Thanks Mate..!👍😁
Thanks for watching, glad I could help!
Thanks for this video. It's exactly what I wanted to know.
This very helpful! It has enlightened me.
Really enjoy your content!
Explained well, thank you!
As always, very informative and extremely polished videos. Thank you for sharing!
Your explanation is very simple and very helpful.
Thank you from the depth of my 💜
You're so welcome! I'm happy to help!
This is really helpful. Thank you.
Loving these animations, very clear and informative. Keep them up! However, and please don't take this the wrong way as everything else was great, it's worth pointing out that ISO generally has nothing to do with the amount of noise your photos will exhibit. ISO is the amount of gain or amplification that is applied to the sensor signal and nothing to do with changing sensor sensitivity. The reason that you usually see more noise in photos with a higher ISO is that if you're in an auto mode the camera will decrease the time the shutter stays open for or decrease the aperture size as you increase ISO (to expose correctly) and let less light onto the sensor. That is what causes more noise, a lack of light / signal to the sensor. In fact in some situations you will get *less* noise by using a higher ISO, so long as you carefully compensate the shutter speed and aperture accordingly to ensure enough light / signal on the sensor. I couldn't believe this when I heard it as it goes against everything I was told about ISO being a representation of sensor sensitivity and directly responsible for noise, which it isn't. The only way I believed it was to try it out for myself and see with my own eyes that ISO not only didn't increase noise but it actually *reduced* the noise in low-light on my Canon 6D.
If you're curious about the science then Lonely Speck has a great article on it: www.lonelyspeck.com/how-to-find-the-best-iso-for-astrophotography-dynamic-range-and-noise/
I'm glad you enjoyed my video! I'm aware of the inconsistencies between my video and what happens in practice, but thanks for calling attention to this. When I was researching this topic I just clicked on the first few articles I saw and they all propagated the mantra that higher ISOs mean more noise, etc. Little did I know that the truth was far different.
No problem! It's a confusing enough subject even when you're pretty comfortable with the way it all works. I'm not surprised so many people get caught up with the whole ISO equals more noise thing, after all that's what I thought for a long time. Anyway, looking forward to more videos soon - the design and animation style is fantastic!
@@robhawkes While the logic in the linked article does make sense for astrophotography (and to a certain degree at that), it's absolutely useless for any other type of photography. Why would anyone want to go through the process of bumping up the ISO and reducing the shutter speed and aperture, and then reduce the overexposed image exposure in post, all just in order to get an image with more noise compared to what one would get if they had shot at a longer ss/wider aperture? The person who wrote the article did the following: shot properly exposed images at long ss/wide aperture, 3200 ISO with no noise, then shot 1- and 2-stops underexposed images at reduced ss and narrow aperture, also at 3200 ISO, which OBVIOUSLY produces a lot of noise when bumped up 2 stops in post. What they didn't do is check how those two images would look like if they were shot at higher ISOs in order to compensate for the shorter ss and narrower aperture. The third test they did involved reducing the exposure of the the overexposed images in post, which were shot at 6400 and 12800 respectively, thus producing apparently noisier images than the one shot at lowest ISO (not by much, but try doing the same with a low-end camera and then compare the results lol).
If one were to shoot a heavily underexposed image at lowest ISO possible and then bring it up a couple of stops in post, one would get insane amounts of noise. On the other hand, if one shoots an overexposed image and brings it down in post, this would result in less perceivable noise. ISO is basically an equivalent of the exposure slider in post, only difference being that it allows for faster shutter speed.
Exceptionally well explained
Thank you
I just learned something from this video. Thanks alot.
this is coming from a audio engineer just wanted to say first wow! clean thick nice sounding audio very well balanced and second thank you for teaching me the basics. very easy to follow videos info sticks the first time i love the visual aspect all the way.
Really informative & helped me clear the concept regarding ISo...thanks a ton
You're very welcome, I'm glad the video was helpful!
First dslr, no idea about terminology. Your have simple clear explanation with superb animation... You stand out in the crowd of videos!! Keep up the good work.
Thank you.
Thank you, I'm using this video to study for my university exam and it explains so well!
Wonderful! I'm glad it was helpful!
thank you for the explanation
Well explained with great animation.
Thank you.
Thank you for the great content! You have a new follower.
Superb! Thank you
This really help... very solid explanation
Thanks!
Your videos are important to those who touch the camera, plz realise more video , and thank very much
Very beautifully explained. Thank u😊🙏
Thanks and welcome
that's what quality content is all about
You are top notch in my book. Love it!
thanks!
So easy Explaination ....
Keep it up 😊😊😊
nice analogy of microphone and cameras..
Awsome, extremely helpful!
Glad it helped, thanks!
“You should always try to use the lowest ISO value possible”
Not true, using an ISO value below your camera’s native ISO can actually have negative effects on your image, because usually at these ISOs your camera just cuts the highlights.
Look up the native ISO and try to use that value for the best dynamic range and image quality
How do you determine native iso?
Benji Live well said, manufacturers should point out the base sensitivity in the manual, even my Phase One does not give that info.
Very Informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
I have been trying to learn how to shoot on manual since May. All UA-cam videos seem too complicated. Like I was missing something. This source excellent/brilliant. Thank you 😊
You're welcome!
Great quality video 🔥
Thank you 🙌
Best video on the subject by far... take it from a guy who knows NOTHING! Thank you, Bravo, subscribed. 🏆
Thanks for the sub, glad I could help!
great analogy between ISO and microphone volume - really sunk in :-)
Thanks, it's a good one!
I love how you used O (fly on) by coldplay as the background song it's so soothing and nice
Can't believe you recognized it! I love Coldplay's music.
Apalapse yah I did im a huge fan I've listened to all their songs albums singles everything also great videos on teaching photography I learned a lot in just an hour and improved
Been singing along with it
I knew it sounded familiar
its my sleep alarm each morning and I was like is that my alarm?? or is that low key Coldplay lol
Thank you👌
Really love ur vids...
Subscribed....a fan now
Great explanation !
Thanks, Peter!
Thankyou very much this hepled very much
Loving it
Thanks!
Learning is FUN :)
Wow, It's a short video with most information...Keep it up
Thanks a ton
Best explaining video
Great content. I’m surprised you don’t have a million Subs by now.
Hey man. Sorry for taking so long to respond to your comment, maybe that's why I don't have a million lol. No the reason is because I don't upload regularly like I used to. School and research projects have really taken up a lot of my time but now that I am on winter break I should have some more time to create videos. Thanks for the comment and I hope you are doing well. Take care.
"ISO" which is usually found in well-known cameras, for example canon BTW iso in the context of "ISO speed" stands for "International Organization for Standardization," a body that determines international standards. "ISO speed" is a camera terminology that is used widely. On a film camera, this indicates the sensitivity of the photographic film to light.
Spot on! Good explanation!
I LOVE THIS VID. Thx Ya
Very informative thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I don't mean to nit-pick, but sensor size tends to be much more important than pixel size, unless you only care about 100% crops.
Two cameras with pixels the same size (one APS-C, one full frame), will produce the same amount of noise when viewed at the pixel scale but print or view the image as a whole and the larger sensor image will look cleaner.
Similarly, two cameras with the same sensor size but different sized pixels will tend to produce very similar images when printed or viewed at the same size.
So, unless you always plan to look at 100% crops of your images or you plan to print or view them directly in proportion to their sensor size and pixel count, then it's sensor size, not pixel count that matters.
thx !
love this tutorials
Thanks!
That "fly on"(coldplay) background tune is just so relaxing!!!
Coldpay is one of my favorite groups. I am glad you liked them in this video.
@@Apalapse I am also glad to see how easily you explained ISO in this video.
@@lalitkrishna3895 I am glad you think so, that's definitely the goal when I make these videos; I try to make the hard concepts of photography easy to understand.
@@Apalapse Can you make a video explaining differences between all the lenses(types) and which is best for which?? And different sensors too?
@@lalitkrishna3895 Yes that sounds like a good idea. I am thinking of doing a video about types of lenses and how I use them, i.e. ultra wide angle lenses, wide angles, standard, telephoto, super telephoto, etc.
Can you make captions available for this video? I've used your videos in the past and appreciate the succinct way you describe camera mechanics, but this video is not accessible to my ASL students. I've been able to use the videos on Shutter and Aperture, so hopefully I can use this one as well.
Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Love the vid! Great explanation, easy to understand for any beginner especially with the helpful animations :).
Now take the next thing I say with a grain of salt, since this is very subjective but for me personally, the background music was distracting. Background music doesn't usually distract me but in this case the track was taking my focus? Don't know if it is because it is a known song? Anyways, keep up the good work!
Note taken, thanks for the feedback. I'll try to make it quieter in the future.
Agreed. I immediately stopped watching when it became evident that film photography ISO would not be covered. Any discussion not covering analog ISO by definition is incomplete and fails to cover an important topic.
My class is watching you!
Wow! That's really great to hear! Let me know if you or your students have any questions. I would be happy to help out wherever possible. Let me know if there are any more videos I should make as well, I'm always open to new ideas and topics.
Superb editing
Thank you. I am glad that you enjoyed the editing. Animating videos is a lot of work!
Bestest video ever.
Too kind, thanks!
very informative
Thanks!
Nice tutorial. I wonder how many animation and photos did you used and how much it took you to make this video!
Around 40 hours for this video...
I worked a week for my last video also. Since i started making youtube videos the most time i spent was 2 months for my first astrophotography equipment review 1 hour if video that i uploaded in 4 parts. But now i did progress on the time learned many things also on editing
excellent..
Love from India 😍
great video
Thanks!
great vid
Thank you!
Cool video
bravo!
Thanks!
Nyc video!
Nice man....l like it....
Thanks.
cool video keep it up
Very good video. Subscribing!
Glad to hear! Welcome!
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Two down and one more of the basic videos to go. Next shutter speed. I do not understand the negative comments from whiners. Guess they have nothing else in life to do. Keep up the good work. By now you must have completed your studies.
I am actually still completing my undergraduate degree. I will be done in 2022. College has definitely made making videos harder but my schedule this year is allowing me to start UA-cam again. The negative comments are justified because while this explanation is mostly correct there are a few things I got wrong. I will be addressing those in a separate video in the future. Thank you for watching and commenting, though. It is much appreciated.
nice video. thumps up
thanks!
good vid
Fly on in background :-) .
Nice
