Highest ISO?

[LeavingTheCandy]

I see everyone talking about ISO's etc. The only thing I can find is the Gain settings. Is +18 the highest it goes or is there something else in there that I am missing?
I was doing an extreme low-light shoot the other day and need more outta it. I finally did a slow-shutter to compensate, but it was less than ideal.
Thanks!

18db is the max on the f3. It has been suggested that 0db is equivalent to iso800 sensitivity, and 6db of gain is defined as a boost to twice the sensitivity so 6db=iso1600, 12=3200, 18=6400. That is what people are referring to. The fs100 however, does go to 30db.

OK. Thanks!

there is a setting in the menu to show either gain or iso, thats why you're seeing people talk about iso as well. your camera can show either or

A T2?!

@ 6400 iso and a T2 I can light a valley with 4 2.5k hmis and a pile of flashlights... turn your cell phone on if you need more light....

LOL! It was a difficult situation in a movie theater where we wanted to use natural light. (reflecting off of the audience from the screen). I told the director that we could use iPhones to light them! ;-)
