What happens if you set the wrong ISO?

Your pictures will probably be overexposed by 1 stop. The effect depends on the type of film or sensor. For negative films, overexposing is mostly OK and you may not notice. It will result in denser negatives, perhaps with more grain than you would like, and with more shadow detail.

What happens if you change ISO in the middle of a film roll?

If you change the ISO on the camera, you don’t affect the film at all. All you are doing is changing the sensitivity of the lightmeter. So, in that case, you won’t get a better image, but your camera will think you have different film loaded and give you a wrong reading.

What happens to a photograph when you use too high of an ISO setting?

The faster shutter speed with a higher ISO value can minimize or remove motion blur, but if the ISO is too high there will be more noise in the image.

Is 1600 ISO too high?

A high ISO value (e.g. 800, 1600 or higher) means a high sensitivity to light. This helps in low-light situations where you need the camera to capture more light for a better-exposed image.

What is the correct ISO setting for my camera?

The correct ISO setting you need to set, should be a mix between speed and photo quality. You need to be able to weigh up the available light, then set the lowest possible ISO setting that allows you to shoot quick enough so not to blur the subject.

Should I Change my ISO when taking pictures of the Milky Way?

The reason you should change your ISO is because you’re targeting a specific shutter speed.

Otherwise it will turn out as a bunch of streaky stars.
