What is ISO and what is White Balance?

ISO is a camera setting that will make your image brighter or darker before shooting, a video or photo, As the ISO number increases the photo will get brighter and if the ISO gets darker the image would get darker. ISO is effective because it allows you to change the brightness of your image no matter the location, for instance if there is a location that has a lot of light either natural or artificial you could adjust the ISO to a lower number to balance the image brightness it make it look professional. Alongside the ISO there is two more important things that would be adjusted, these would be the shutter speed and the aperture.   What is White Balance in photography ?  The reason we adjust white balance is to get the colors in your images as accurate as possible.
