Why are my shots noisy even with low ISO?

[edutilos-]

The base ISO for 450D is 100? Nice... Most previous gen nikon's base ISO are 200.

There is now a Nikon 450D?

Canon always has its base ISO at 100 - at least as far as I know for entry level.

I read somewhere that Canon's base ISO is 160, although the lowest is 100.
Oh yea, i remember, i read it while researching on technicolour's Cinestyle picture style..it was mentioned that for Canon, shoot in multiples of 160, ie 160, 320 etc…according to them, the image quality is better at 160 than at 100…never really tried it out myself..

You gals can't choose ISO sensitivity in smaller steps?
Maybe it's a menu setting somewhere.

don't know about crystal's cam but mine def doesn't have that function. *__* don't even have live view, LOL

Should be a menu setting. Mine can switch between +/-1EV or match EV steps for ISO

Somewhere, there is probably an option where you can change steps to 1/3 stops instead of 1/2 stops.

Suggest to take with pinch of salt. But no harm trying.

actually there's a method to determine the truth whether iso 160 is the base iso. read it in some photo magazine. unfortunately i dont seems to be getting the same result. So yup i guess try in on ur own n determine if iso 160 is indeed the base iso for ur cam.
