is it possible for cameras to not give grainy night photos?

Answer 1

You have to keep the ISO down.



This means the shutter speed has to be lengthened, which requires a longer exposure. You will need a tripod and accessories. And you won't be able to photograph moving objects.



But if the subject is close enough, you can use a flash too.



Here is a photo I took with an exposure time of 100 seconds @ ISO 200, and there is no noise at all.

Answer 2

Yes, but it is an incredibly expensive option.



You are going to want a full-frame or even medium format with as wide an aperture you can get (EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM for example). Combine that with good ISO noise reduction software and you should get close to no noise.



You can also lengthen the time the shutter is open if you are photographing still objects.

Answer 3

Almost impossible in low light. Use of long exposure or high ISO will always result in noise in a digital camera. Switch on noise reduction and open your lens to max aperture to reduce it.



It is handled better in top end DSLRs than in low end P&S or cell phone cameras.

Answer 4

Yes, some cameras used properly will give non-grainy night photos.

Your camera has at least two options. Have you tried the night mode on your mode dial? The other is to use your manual mode and balance ISO, aperture and shutter speed.

Answer 5

you're able to desire to do time publicity, meaning you're able to desire to set publicity for various seconds, looking on your undertaking. you opt for the tripod to maintain the digital camera secure and the two a distant shutter or use the timer so which you wont jar the digital camera.. as a results of fact that its digital you are able to test with different time and aperture settings.. of direction the 1st solutions are best.. the better ISO settings gets grainier consequences..

Answer 6

I don't think you can do it with a simple point & shoot camera.
