So generally, I’ve always understood that the lowest ISO is best to shoot at. Though with newer cameras, they usually have a higher base ISO and in some cases Dual ISO.
I usually work with the R5C, even for photography. It feels odd to take portraits at 800 ISO because I’ve always been told it should be as low as possible.
So does the Base ISO system, negate the need to shoot at lowest ISO for the clearest and least grainy image?
Shoot at the lowest iso possible to get a good image.
You might have an f2.8 lens but for depth of field purposes youre shootimg at f4. But its getting dark out. Lucky for you you have a modern camera so when you move up a couple stops of iso you maintain your other settings and get an image that comes out just fine.
I dont touch iso until i need to. I shoot moving subjects so setting the shutter speed is my priority. However i can only go so slow on shutter speed before i cant track the subject well enough. Lucky for me auto iso will take me up a bit and come out with a good image.
Dont just randomly set 1/1000 shutter f22 iso:auto but its not the end of the world if iso is above 100. If your other settijgs are maxed out either physically or by the restrictrions needed to still get a good photo dont be afraid to let iso do its thing
