  2. List of abbreviations in photography - Wikipedia

    GN = distance × f-number. One needs to specify the film or sensor ISO speed, and it is conventional to quote for ISO 100/21°. The distance can be in feet or in metres, the units to be specified. [4] GND: Graduated neutral density. A type of neutral density filter in which brightness is reduced more on one side of the filter than on the other ...

  3. Film speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed

    For example, a photographer may rate an ISO 400 film at EI 800 and then use push processing to obtain printable negatives in low-light conditions. The film has been exposed at EI 800. Another example occurs where a camera's shutter is miscalibrated and consistently overexposes or underexposes the film; similarly, a light meter may be inaccurate ...

  4. Exposure (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_(photography)

    For photographic film, sensitivity is referred to as film speed and is measured on a scale published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Faster film, that is, film with a higher ISO rating, requires less exposure to make a readable image. Digital cameras usually have variable ISO settings that provide additional ...

  5. Exposure value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_value

    Illuminance is measured using a flat sensor; if the common value of C = 250 (unit: lux s ISO=lm s/m 2 ISO) is used, an EV of zero (e.g., an aperture of f /1 and a shutter time of 1 sec) for ISO = 100 corresponds to an illuminance of 2.5 lux (0.23 fc). At EV = 15 (the "sunny sixteen" amount of light) the illuminance is 82,000 lux (7600 fc). For ...

  6. Image noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_noise

    It can be seen that a higher ISO setting (applied correctly) does not, in and of itself, generate a higher noise level, and conversely, a higher ISO setting reduces read noise. The increase in noise often found when using a higher ISO setting is a result of the amplification of shot noise and a lower dynamic range as a result of technical ...

    ISO 2240:2003 Photography – Colour reversal camera films – Determination of ISO speed; ISO 2241:1972 Photography — Light sources for use in sensitometric exposure — Simulation of the spectral distribution of tungsten illumination [Withdrawn: replaced with ISO 7589] ISO 2242:1972 Photography — Light sources for use in sensitometric ...

  8. Light value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_value

    A synonym for exposure value (EV) (e.g., Kyoritsu calibrated light sources, [1] for which the luminance ranges are specified in terms of "LV at ISO 100". Kyoritsu specify the luminance ranges of their multi-function camera testers in EV, presumably at ISO 100). A synonym for "EV at ISO 100 film speed". This usage appears on many web pages ...

  9. Photographic film - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_film

    Common film speeds include ISO 25, 50, 64, 100, 160, 200, 400, 800 and 1600. Consumer print films are usually in the ISO 100 to ISO 800 range. Some films, like Kodak's Technical Pan, [31] are not ISO rated and therefore careful examination of the film's properties must be made by the photographer before exposure and development. ISO 25 film is ...
