So here is a simple guide showing how to change your ISO to ISO25 while normally ISO100 is the standard lowest ISO on most of the Camera's. It increases also a bit of the dynamic range plus also able to let you have more lower ISO range.

this features is on new firmware 2.3??

That's a very rough draft - take it with a grain of salt.

It works still in the new 2.3 version just still got the color shift to green but nothing that bit of color correction cant fix.

All this iso things are really interesting, and the article is a pleasing and illuminating read.
But i want to ask a question. why the digital negative gain isn't available in photo mode? it's because you don't find useul or for some hardware/software limitations? because i think that decreasing the 100iso limit should be very interesting used like a "digital ND filter". I mean, lowest iso, increased time. So for long exposures should be interesting (i don't know how many stops this could be done, but could be useful)

In photo mode you can shoot RAW - which contains all the dynamic range you can get.

Is it possible integrate this feature into auto ISO?

Or is there any better way to use ISO25 in light changing scenes?

a1ex

No.

For light changing scenes, @3pointedit had the idea of using HDR video - take a look around.

I think the same thing. I'd like to shoot at ISO 25. so I can increase exposure when the sun is up, as if I had a nd filter

In the days of film ISO 25 would be giving the finest resolution. Does anything like his happen here that increases Image Quality? (for stills)

screamer

ClicketyClick pointed out exactly the meaning of my question: is it possible to have lower iso than 100 (with conseguent less noise and better iq than the standard 100iso lowest value? but if i understood well, the answer is no, or better the lowest iso is a pull down of a more great value (160?)
And if it's true, is the image quality of 160iso the same of 100iso (i mean with raw shooting, the noise level is the same?)

160 is pulled down from 200, so the RAW files shot with these two ISOs will be identical.

The lowest analog ISO is 100.

I've had a quick look at the ML ISOs and I can't say I see any difference (apart from brightness of the 800 over the 700)?

ML 700 ISO (800 with -0.3ev ML) - http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7248/7652727356_c1e416bb43_h.jpg

Does this lower iso works with pics? I am new to magic lantern.

No, you can have same result if you shoot in raw and underexpose in post.
I'm using ML2.3 for photography with:

Are you sure? I think that the best dynamic range only possible with native ISO100.
I think that ISO25 is the ISO100 with cut of 2 stops of dynamic range. Is it wrong?

You really get more details in the highlights which are normally clipped. you can see that the whites are getting more pink. that's because not all colors clip at the same intensity and that's what ML uses as an advantage

But what about details in the dark area?
Overall dynamic range of ISO 25 will be 2 stops less than ISO 100? (with better highlight roll-off, but crushed blacks by 2 EV, yes?)

KarateBrot

sure, but that's how all ISO values behave. i don't know what you want to say. if something with the exposure value is different than it's going to be in the highlights
