Hey everyone, I was wondering what the ISO setting on my camera does?

I have an Auto, 80, 100, 200, 400 setting on my camera. The only thing I am shooting with my camera is jewelry. Is there a certain setting I should have on the camera to get the best shots? Or does it not matter.

What does changing the ISO effect?

Thanks,
Ryan

ISO is a measure of a film's sensitivity to light. A 400 speed film is more sensitive to light than a 100 speed film. Consequently, the faster film is better suited for low-light photography. Unfortunately, faster films also create more noise and reproduce colors less accurately than slower films. Digital cameras either have a preset ISO sensitivity or they allow you to choose from a variety of film speed settings.

Good receipe for success

Low ISO = better quality picture because almost inexistant noise (in shadow mostly)
use a lot of light (flash is better)
use proper F stop to control white-black
