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?

    1. Normally, as you raise the ISO the maximum amount of light the image sensor can collect goes down.
    2. The more light you collect the better the image quality because light itself is noisy - the more you capture, the less noisy things appear to you.
    3. Raising ISO makes the JPG brighter, reducing it darker.
    4. Raising ISO normally reduces the camera added noise slightly - this is mainly relevant if you shoot raw.
