what is the ISO rating, what does it mean, and how does it affect how a camera takes a shot?
ISO The acronym ISO stands for the International Standards Organization which is the body that sets and oversees the control and maintenance of international standards used worldwide in many differing spheres. Usually the ordinary person is unaware of these but sometimes they are quoted or used in conjunction with products and services that routinely affect everyday life. Often a product or service is quoted or marked as confirming to a particular ISO standard to convey the message that it meets certain standards required of it, and consumers are advised/warned not to purchase goods which do not meet these standards.
