What is the significance of ISO and image noise? Answer concisely in 2-3 sentences.
83 chars

Generation

ISO controls your camera sensor's sensitivity to light. Higher ISO values allow you to shoot in darker conditions but introduce more digital noise (graininess and color speckles) into your images. The key is balancing ISO with shutter speed and aperture to get proper exposure while minimizing unwanted noise.
