How much light do I want to let into the camera?
Sense the right amount of light for the visual effect you want.On a bright sunny day too much light hitting the sensor can cause an overexposure so make it less sensitive with a low ISO number. If your shooting conditions are dark the sensor needs to detect more light so increase its sensitivity with a higher ISO.Changing ISO
