What’s the difference between F22 and F5.6?
Q.

In a nightclub, should I just up the ISO?
Q.
I've been asked to take some pictures at a party in a nightclub. Should I use your simple settings and just up the ISO? I imagine most people will be moving around on the dance floor in nightmare lighting! Please help!
