You're mixing fractions with decimals. I don't think you're allowed to do that.

How can i find out the optimal setting for the d3200?

Have you tried the Internet?

I understand there are lots of answers out there.

Those older Nikons had some weird settings.

I always used ASA 200, which is the ISO equivalent. The hamster used film, he should know that.

I thought the answer was "the best setting for the particular shot" ?

I vary from 100, 200, to 800, 1600 etc dependent upon the light available and what you wanted to do with Shutter/Aperture.

Put it on Auto and take a variety of pictures in light to dark scenarios and see how it changes ALOT. Then start fiddling with ISO in a variety of situations in Manual and see how it affects the Shutter - ISO - Aperture triangle give and take.

but in short, the answer is 100. Unless it's not.

220,221 whatever it takes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe this forum IS on the internet. Therefore, this would be an appropriate place for such a inquiry. No?

It's most likely either 100 or 200. Pick one and run with it.

For some reason only the camera on automatic can choose those iso settings. I can only double starting from 100.

Which camera? (Edit - Nevermind, I see now)

1/2 or 1/3 stop adjustments may have to be enabled via custom function. On older cameras, it is common for ISO to only be adjustable in full stop increments.

I checked, the camera doesn't let me choose what exact number of iso i want.

Shocking capabilities you have ...

Even if you have the correct ISO, a dirty sensor or an improperly cleaned lens will make it irrelevant.

You must be in AUTO ISO

check your manual to take it out of AUTO ... then it will let you pick and choose which exact ISO you want.

I found this thread interesting and informative. I recommend auto ISO for you hamlet.

I don't have another choice. I'll just stick with iso 200.
