Set The Iso: Manual Mode Requires The Photographer To Physically Set 3 Camera Functions: ISO, F/stop and Shutter Speed

Manual mode requires photographers to manually set the ISO, aperture, and shutter speed on their camera. The document provides guidance on setting each of these functions, including recommendations for different lighting conditions. It also instructs photographers to use their camera's light meter to check for proper exposure and adjust shutter speed or aperture until the meter reads 0 if an under or overexposed reading is shown. A final check involves considering exposure needs for a subject and verifying the meter still indicates proper exposure based on the scene.
