ISO - The speed or specific light-sensitivity of a camera is rated by ISO numbers such as 100, 400, etc. The higher the number, the more sensitive it is to light. As with film, the higher ISO speeds usually induce more electronic noise so the image gets grainier.
I thought it might help if we discussed some photographic terms. If you would like to go ahead and post some, too! I am not a professional so PLEASE feel free to correct me or add onto anything.

i don't know: does turning up the ISO slow down the shutter speed? i thought it just made it grainier, the higher you turned it up. I don't know, i've never really known exactly what these terms mean, i just know what they do. =^P
I think, after reading the link I just posted, you are right about the shutter speed! Though, check the link as sometimes you do need to turn up the ISO for clearer pictures. I will change the post. Thanks!!
