F8=half of F11
F.6= double size F8
what is ISO
iso helps produce better quality images and affects grainyness
-high ISO
-lighting conditions and grainyness
-ISO 800
-poor lighting conditions & grainy
-low ISO
-lighting and grainyness
-ISO 50
-good lighting and clear photo
normal lens
18-55 mm
difference about zoom lens
