Which ISO is the most sensitive to light?

ISO 800 is half as sensitive to light as ISO 1600. A low ISO value (e.g. 100 or 200) means low sensitivity to light. This is exactly what’s needed in bright conditions in order to avoid overly-exposed photos. A high ISO value (e.g. 800, 1600 or higher) means a high sensitivity to light.

What are the three settings used to control the camera exposure?

The ISO setting is one of three elements used to control exposure; the other two are f/stop and shutter speed. In most cases manually setting the f/stop and shutter speed, or using one of the camera’s automatic exposure controls (aperture- or shutter-priority, for example) is all you’ll need to do.

Do you really need a light meter?
