This is a good start to learning and understanding how to get the best results from your camera. Setting the ISO is one of the most important things you can do to get better pictures. This goes for all cameras not just DSLRs. Most cameras let you choose ISO.

One of the great things about digital vs film is auto iso. I use it usually when I’m shooting manual, and moving around in an area where the lighting varies SLIGHTLY, but I need to have a certain shutter speed (1/60) to not get blur. Auto iso helps make the exposures right.
@charvelgtrs I have to agree with that. The sensor in my 7D is good but they could have made it better with a lower pixel density in my opinion. I don’t know how the 21 MP work……that’s why they cost more I guess.
@coastem Photoshop is increasingly becoming important to some but I will never think it’s more important than composition, exposure, and pure artistic ability. There is also a drive to shoot in some people. If we don’t have that stuff photoshop will not do us any good. I have become fond of Lightroom 3 in the past few months I have to admit. I think it’s made me better. Photoshop will help you get better end results. It’s not everything.
Hi,
I really like your reviews, also got the 7d and recently bought the 17-55mm f2.8 , somewhat on the basis of your review. But am getting increasingly depressed ! Finding that it’s very little to do with the camera,lens or any skills of the photographer but totally to do with manipulation with Photoshop!!!
Canon needs to stop adding so many pixels in their cameras. It affects low-light performance. Nikon still makes pro cameras with only 12 megapixels and nothing beats them for low-noise at high ISO settings.
@konttka Glad to hear it. I am working on more. It’s hard to find time. Have a good one and keep shooting.
really informative videos.. only good&simple tutorials on youtube I have found so far..
I think that while considering all of the elements that contribute to digital noise occurring in a photo,the first culprit is ones choice of ISO setting.. Lighting Conditions and lenses take second place. Set your own ISO,shoot in manual,know your cameras limitations and as you always say Nate,”practice ,practice”, is the best advice for beginners to photography..Great insight as usual !
@mickthepope No it does not. ISO is mainly sensitivity of the sensor.
@rickjbradbury This is true Rick. It can be a lot more complicated than simply sensitivity. Thanks for the comment.
@mickthepope the ISO does nothing with the size of the image file ! it’s always the same !
Hey I just bought a black rapid rs-7…pretty nice investment very very happy with it, just thought I’ll recommend it to you just in case u were getting tired if the stock strap
I just love this DSLR tips by Nate42nd! Great job bro
does a low ISO increase the size of the image file? something i’ve always wondered about.
The problem with iso test is they only show one image/type of image. Noise is not only effected by ISO, it also depends on the scene/tones in the image as well as exposure and the lens used. Auto ISO has its use but its best to learn by trying it in manual. Good Video Nate, keep up the good work. Rick
@kookiemoose Hey moose. I have been very busy. I still shoot with the 7D and/or S95 every day without fail. I have some computer builds coming up. The parts for the first will be here this week. I am looking forward to building again.
well dont buy DSLR if you can’t understand how the 3 works together; ISO Aperture and Shutter-Speed. IMO. nate is the best for teaching these for beginners. Photography is fun when you know those stuff
Manually adjusting ISO opens you up to more control of your camera.
Hey Nate, was just wondering to myself where you were at! Nice reminder.
Awesome I just learned this so great video! 😀
Sound advice.
i dunt like high iso because of teh grain =( and i fight the power and NEVER USE AUTO ISO problem? also FIRST

Guys, this is a total waste of time. LR4 does NOT support most of the develop module adjustments, so you can work on the jpeg capture as much as you like but your settings will not be added to the video. Major bummer. I was amazed at the speed which adjustments like vignette could be added / rendered for video until I realised it wasn’t adding the adjustments at all. Real shame. I suspect that a complex preset would just take too long to render frame by frame. I’ll be uninstalling LR4.
@Belichtungskorrektur I don’t know then why Adobe didn’t mention that… when it’s easier and a more logic way…
Thanks for confirming!
@pol10pablo Yes, that’s working.
Click on “capture a frame”, then go to the development (shortcut d) tool and edit this frame.
Then select first the captured frame and then the video. Click then on sync on the right hand side and if you then go in to the single view (shortcut e) and now it’s applied, without creating presets…
Way better.
Thank’s Adobe!
Cant you just clic on the sync button? instead of being always creating new presets for each video?
instead making and applying a preset to match color correction or any other adjustments for that matter to selected clips, sync settings would be a faster options.
The idea of editing videos is great. But having to create a useless picture and then a useless preset isn’t. I guess Lightroom 5 is already on its way.
Certainly looks like a workaround, not extremely elegant but I guess they’re well aware of that. I like the presets idea and I’m wondering : I don’t know adobe premiere at all but would these presets be exportable to Premiere? Lightroom giving you the photographers ways of making a defined look and premiere for cutting/editing?
AWESOME!
Can we apply noise reduction to videos with this method ?
I tried it but nothing happened….
While this is great to have for simple videos for Facebook or YouTube, I would love to see someway to export one or more videos to a premiere pro project, in much the same way as the edit in Photoshop functionality works.
Finally what I always wanted for my video clips! I love the beta…
I can only agree to the other comments. This is a very complicated unintuitive way to develop videos. Couldn’t Lightroom handle this workflow of creating a frame snapshot (that will in most cases be deleted afterwards anyway), capture my changes and applying it to the whole video automatically?!
I’m positive Adobe wants to have the editing ability more seamless for video; it should work similarly to the photo development. Capturing frames is very clunky, as noted. Does it work? Sure. But it couldn’t be farther from intuitive. This is really awesome functionality, though! And I think this is a perfect example where Adobe should just provide the transparency to the audience. Just say, “Yea, our ultimate goal is to avoid this capture frame method. But, for now, it works and we’re excited.”
Yeah, the video adjustment workflow seems a bit clunky. Why capture frame, save preset, etc? Why not just make that happen behind the scenes? Still pretty cool, I think it is great for still photographers who are frustrated that they couldn’t do to their dslr video the same stuff they could do to their photos.
Seems like video adjustments could be seamlessly and easily implemented behind the scenes without using a manual capture frame. Just disable scrubbing while in Develop.
People will be so confused by this workflow, especially in a product primarily directed to stills photographers and not the Premiere crowd…
