The Isetta, designed by Italy's Iso Rivolta company in the early 1950s, became the most successful single-cylinder car in history.

Additionally, the D3100's ISO range can expand to a Hi-2 setting of ISO 12, 800, furthering the opportunities for low-light shots that other cameras miss.

In addition to T-02D's ISO 25600-equivalent high sensitivity, the phone also comes equipped with a nighttime mode that allows users to take beautiful photos at night while minimizing camera shake and noise, two problems commonly encountered with previous low-light photography technology.
The D3100's normal ISO range extends from ISO 100 to 3200, allowing users to capture stunning images, even in low light environments.

Nathaniel Bullard of Bloomberg New Energy Finance has been looking at photovoltaic projects registered with California ISO, the state's grid operator, since 2007.

You surely don't need to shoot at ISO 320, ever, though that's exactly what we did here.
To complement the speed of the f1.8 lens, the camera's low-light mode automatically adjusts the ISO sensitivity up to ISO 12, 800 to take sharp, full-resolution photos in dim conditions, and an easily accessible built-in pop-up flash and AF illuminator brightens low-lit subjects, reduces red-eye and fills in dark areas.
As he sees it, there's no perceptible difference between the two up to ISO 1600, though looking at his video test we're also hard pressed to distinguish any notable discrepancies at the maximum 6400 setting.

S. (Optical Image Stabilization), Intelligent ISO Control, Face Detection, Intelligent Scene Selector and Intelligent Exposure.
An alternative to running two standards around would be to limit the new standard to a few markets, such as the U.S. where the DTCC launched a pilot with the ISO 20022 message last year.

Taking photos and videos in low-light situations has always involved some kind of tradeoff: you can either crank up the ISO and reduce image quality significantly, use something like Sony's NightShot and add that alien green tint to everything, or trust your image stabilizer to go from wacky-blurry to just pretty-blurry.

There's also a playback button, along with direct access to ISO, image deletion and menu settings.

There's no optical image stabilisation, but we're thinking the ISO is a pretty good trade-off.
Shooting at ISO 3, 200 (our typical default, given the 1D X's capabilities), noise was invisible until you jumped all the way up to a 100 percent view (see inset).
There's a 12-megapixel CMOS sensor with a DIGIC 5 processor and an ISO range of 80-6400.
It's still not clear at what distance the exchange was intercepted -- while the passive ISO 14443 tag is spec'd with a read distance of only 2-milimeters you'll find claims of reads at several meters.
California's main power grid manager, the Independent System Operator, reported that turbines spinning within the ISO grid produced a record of 4, 196 megawatts Sunday.
The shooter sports a pop-up flash, has its ISO notched up 16000, a revamped Bionz processor for noise reduction and even packs support for Sony's Triluminos display tech.
Great even in low light, the camera's 12.1-megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS image sensor and DIGIC 5 image processor combine and deliver on Canon's HS SYSTEM helping ensure detail is captured even in dark or shadowed areas at a maximum ISO speed of up to 6400.

Herschel's cryostat approach to cooling was evolved from a previous Esa mission - the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), which operated in the 1990s.
That's essentially what you can do with the Canon 5D Mark III -- with a top sensitivity of ISO 102, 400, what was once unfathomable could soon become an acceptable standard.
