There is so much talks on the internet about high ISO and the right exposure, people often say that there is no noise even at ISO 3200 if you get "the right exposure", but I do not understand what they mean by that.
Yes I know, in low light situation when exposed right at ISO 100 I will get more noise than with ISO 1600 in situations with a lot of light, but we are talking about low light situations.
If I use 35mm lens with F1.8 aperture, 1/100 shutter speed, the light-meter asks for ISO 3200 in order to get the right exposure, there is no alchemy in this, it is very simple.
Click and there it is, a shot with right exposure, but still there is high ISO noise.
I really do not understand what they mean when they say: If you get "the right exposure" there is almost no noise.
I tried to use Exposure Compensation -0.3 or -0.7 in order to get slower shutter speed, but then the image is over-exposed, and I still have noise.
Is that just some placebo, or alchemy they are talking about, or there is some trick I do not understand yet?
