When you aren’t sure what you want to do set the ISO at 400.

For shooting in bright-light, where you want to preserve highlight detail, set the ISO between 32.

For shooting in low-light where you want to preserve shadow detail, set the ISO between 100 – 400.

High ISO settings allow more detail in the highlights.

Low ISO settings allow more detail in the shadows.

The ISO setting determines where the camera “sees” 50% gray.

What the ISO setting does is, within the 13 stops the camera shoots that span from pure black and pure white, determine where mid-point gray will be set within this range. There’s been a lot of discussion about the dual ISO settings that the camera provides. Expect these comments and recommendations to evolve over time.

Since then, I’ve made a point to hire cinematographers, because the quality of their work is higher than mine. The last time I did any serious shooting, video was still standard definition. When the team at doddleNEWS asked me to review the camera, I hedged. One of the hottest cameras on the planet right now is the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K (PCC 4K) from Blackmagic Design.
