ISO is an algorithmic value that indicates a film stock’s sensitivity to light. Since dSLRs use a CCD or CMOS image sensor instead, the ISO on a digital camera is the equivalent in terms of light sensitivity.

Your dSLR camera shutter speed determines how long light reaches the image sensor to record an image. The shutter speed is typically measured in fractions of a second (e.g., 1/60, 1/125, 1/500 second) That’s lightning fast! But that’s all the camera needs to record an image.

If you are new to the digital SLR (dSLR) world, one of the things that you‘ll notice is that you have complete control over how the camera exposes the image sensor. Your exposure is the one critical element to SLR photography (digital or film) that will make or break your photo. There are other aspects, like sharpness, but exposure is the key. There is no “correct” exposure, because you can and will want to be creative with how much light, or lack of light, you want on your subject. Your photographs will stand out once you’ve mastered this crucial skill.
