ISO rating for Film Speed
ISO stands for 'International Organization for Standardization' and their film speed ratings are used to indicate the relative amount of light necessary to give a proper exposure. A normal film will be rated at ISO 100.
ISO rating

Do the ISO rating change from film camera to digital since the process od recording and the media are totally different?
Thanks ...
The higher the ISO rating, the more sensitive to light the film stock; so an ISO of 100 would be fine for standard daylight photography while higher speeds would be used for fast-moving action or low-light... Read More...

If you lower the ISO rating you're essentially tricking the camera into producing more flash output - halving the ISO results in one stop more flash output.
The ISO rating on film measures the film's sensitivity to light. The higher the number, the less light you need. For sports photography, an ISO of 400 or higher is usually necessary.
SilverFast's NegaFix solution to negative scanning allows you to choose a calibrated profile for the brand name and ISO rating of your film of choice. There are over 120 different profiles available. See the current list of profiles by clicking HERE.
The ISO rating in a digicam limits the exposure range of the camera because it acts as the base from which all exposure combinations are made.
The smaller the ISO number, the slower the sensor.
Sensitivity settings on digital cameras are the equivalent of ISO ratings on film. Just about every digital camera will have settings with a sensitivity equivalent to from ISO 100 to ISO 800.
Make a series of dark slides at varying durations (up to the maximum exposure time you've used) for each ISO rating. In less than an hour, you'll have dark slides for your camera.
The ISO sensitivity (ISO rating, ISO speed) characterizes the sensor or film sensitivity to light. Formerly called ASA rating, digital cameras continue to use the same system introduced a long time ago.
The ISO rating is an indication of light sensitivity in digital photography. Sensitivity is increased by amplifying sensor output, which also increases noise output, much like the increased grain in film with higher light sensitivity.
For under £50 (if you’re lucky with your bidding) — or for free if you still have your old lenses to hand — your shooting options are immediately expanded, with handheld, low-light photography using a low ISO rating no longer ...
A film with a particular ISO rating can be pushed to behave like a film with a higher ISO. In order to do this, the film must be developed for a longer amount of time or at a higher temperature than usual.
Exposure is the physical combination of shutter speed, aperture size and ISO rating that determines how much light the image sensor (or film frame) records.
Slow-speed films generally refer to film with 100-200 ISO ratings. These slower speeds are excellent for outdoor landscape photography and inanimate objects. They can also be a great choice if it's a particularly sunny day.
Digital cameras also use the ISO rating to indicate the CCD sensitivity. The standard rating is ISO100 and as this is increased it means that faster shutter speeds can be used. When the ISO is doubled, it doubles the available shutter speed.
A film speed rating similar to an ISO rating abbreviated EI. When film is shot at something other than its rated speed setting, or ASA, The speed setting at which it is exposed is referred as the Exposure Index.
Photographic paper for black and white has a low ISO rating. In my own pinhole photography I have used mainly Fujichrome 50 and Fujichrome Velvia, XP-2 and Ilford Multigrade III RC.
00 range and well capable of capturing those clear shots with a high ISO rating that Dak was speaking of. One thing I have done prior to dropping a pile of cash on a new lens, is going down to our local rental shop here in Denver, CO..
The basic principle is that the higher the ISO setting on your camera or the higher the ISO rating of your film, the more sensitive it is to light. It is a straight numerical progression: ISO 100 is twice as sensitive as ISO 50.
Faster ISO films give much better results than equivalent ISO rating of digital cameras.
Digital
Although more expensive, digital camera prices are dropping rapidly with more features added.
-Fast film - film which has an emulsion that is very sensitive to light. These films have high ISO ratings.
-Fast lens - lens with a wide maximum aperture (low f number).
-Ferric chloride - bleaching solution used on negative materials.
Mostly noticeable in the shadow areas of images captured at higher ISO ratings, the image processors used in many current digital cameras utilize noise-suppression software to minimize the appearance of noise artifacts.
Film speed
Used to indicate the light sensitivity of a film as ISO. Digital cameras also use the ISO rating to indicate the CCD sensitivity. see Speed.

Fast film
Film with an emulsion that is very sensitive to light. Such films have high ISO ratings (i.e.: ISO1600). They are all, however, more grainy than there slower counterparts.

However, unlike traditional film-based point-and-shoots, many digital cameras are more sophisticated and allow the photographer to set higher ISO ratings.
A film camera's ISO is usually set to match (or approximate) the ISO rating of the film purchased.
Most consumer cameras use built-in software to reduce the appearance of digital noise at high ISOs, however this can result in images that look smooth but lack detail, especially when enlargements are made. Unlike with film, the ISO rating of a ...
Sensitivity. A measure of the degree of response of a film or sensor to light, measured in digital cameras using ISO ratings.
When the ISO on a digital camera is increased (or film with a higher ISO rating is put into a film camera), the image produced is brighter but it also becomes less clean with increased graininess or noise.
Set your camera to its highest ISO rating. Once these precautions have been taken, you're ready to shoot! Take some test photographs to make sure that your set-up works. Remember to try to use your tripod.
Technically, digital cameras don't have ISO ratings, but ISO settings, because only the base setting is a true ISO. Some cameras also offer a lower setting, which can be useful when a longer exposure is needed.
Higher ISO ratings mean the camera is more sensitive to light and can take pictures in darker settings.
Some modern films are extremely sensitive to light, offering the photographer great latitude in composing a shot. Even so, we do not usually use the fastest film possible, because films with lower ISO ratings are better suited to bright light and ...
Some films have a different recommended ISO rating when used with tungsten or daylight light sources. Be sure to consult the data sheet supplied with the film or the Photo-Lab Index to determine the proper ISO setting.
