What is ISO??

ISO is a setting for you to control your DSLR sensitivity of light.

 Low ISO
Is used when the surrounding is bright like outdoors (sunny day) or bright rooms. 

When to use?
1. Shooting outdoors activity
2. Indoor events with good lighting


High ISO
Is needed when is dark like dim rooms and at night.

When to use?
1. Concert
2. Birthday Parties



Photographers try their best to take photos with lower ISO because when ISO is high it will affects the quality of the photos. As it will have noise.

high ISO speed
High ISO

You can see from the pictures the higher ISO has many boxes that we called it as noise than lower ISO which you don't want to get.

The range of the ISO is around 100 - 6000. The maximum ISO that a camera can achieve is depends on its model. It might be hard to control the ISO in the beginning but the more you practice the better you will be because PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT! :)

If you want to improve your skill faster try to jump out from Auto mode :)

Instax 8







 The difference between a Instax 7s and Instax 8:
1. Instax 8 only needs 2 batteries whereas Instax 7s need 4 batteries!(Isn't that awesome!) Besides, the weight of the Instax 8 is lighter.

2. Instax 8 has 'High-Key' mode which allows your photos to be softer.


The film used for Instax 8 is the same as Instax 7s approximately 62mm x46mm because it is a size of a credit card you could keep it in your purse! You don't need to worry that it is too BIG! :D

Hope that I could get mine as soon as possible! :) gonna take photos with the family during Chinese New Year :D *Yeaahhh*
