The emergence of digital photography changed the photography landscape forever. It allowed even the most novice of photographers a chance at creating more striking shots. But just like any endeavor, a lot of wrong beliefs exist about digital photography. For maximum results, people need to get rid of these myths. Here are two of myths you should stop believing.

The bigger the size of the file, the higher the quality of the image
One of the most popular myths people believe is that if a file has more bytes, then the image is better. Not necessarily. How many bytes only relates to the resolution. It may be clearer, but not of higher quality. There may be more info from a pixel, but no amount of bytes than rescuing a poorly-shot image. Always remember that the quality of an image depends on more than just one element.
ISOs can change sensitivity
Another misconception many new photographers believe in is that ISO can affect sensitivity. False. People should know that digital sensors have a single sensitivity setting. ISOs, however, can affect signals, gains, and noise. A great analogy would be a live recording of a song. If the recording itself were done haphazardly, as much as you increase the volume, there’d still be a lot of ambient sounds ruining it.
