ISO Settings from Wikipedia...
"For digital photo cameras ("digital still cameras").... ISO setting—is specified by the manufacturer such that .... image files produced by the camera will have a lightness similar to what would be obtained with film of the same rating at the same exposure. The usual design is that the camera's parameters for interpreting the sensor data values ... are fixed, and a number of different ... choices are accommodated by varying the sensor's signal gain ... prior to conversion to digital."

ISO Sensitivity:
"A camera's ISO function sets the light sensitivity of the camera's image sensor (this is similar to the speed rating of FILM). ISO settings are often rated at 100, 200, or 400 but go as high as 800, 1600, and even 3200 on some advanced models. A lower ISO setting is used when capturing overly bright scenes, since it reduces the light sensitivy of the image sensor. This is ideal when shooting at the beach, on a ski slope, or under the midday sun. A higher ISO settings is often used when shooting under dimmer conditions (cloudy days, indoors, etc.) since it increases the light sensitivity of the image sensor. As brightness in a scene is decreased the camera tries to compensate by slowing the shutter speed which in turn lets in more light but increases the risk of motion blur. To prevent this, you can increase the ISO or sensitivity of the camera, which allows the camera to select a higher shutter speed, thus reducing motion blur. "

"White Balance is an aspect of photography that many digital camera owners don’t understand or use - but it’s something well worth learning about as it can have a real impact upon the shots you take.
So for those of you who have been avoiding White Balance - let me introduce you to it. I promise to keep it as simple as possible and keep what follows as useable as I can:
At its simplest - the reason we adjust white balance is to get the colors in your images as accurate as possible."

"What is a Histogram
Histograms are a topic that we could (and probably should) spend a lot of time talking about but let me give you a very brief answer to get you through in the short term.
Histograms are a very useful tool that many cameras offer their users to help them get a quick summary of the tonal range present in any given image.
It graphs the tones in your image from black (on the left) to white (on the right).
The higher the graph at any given point the more pixels of that tone that are present in an image.
So a histogram with lots of dark pixels will be skewed to the left and one with lots of lighter tones will be skewed to the right.
The beauty of a histogram is that the small LCD display on your camera is not really big enough to give you an great review of a picture and you can often get home to find that you’ve over or under exposed an image. Checking the histogram can tell you this while you’re in a position to be able to adjust your settings and take another shot."
A nickel-metal hydride battery, abbreviated NiMH, is a type of rechargeable battery similar to a nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery but using a hydrogen-absorbing alloy for the negative electrode instead of cadmium.
As in NiCd batteries, the positive electrode is nickel oxyhydroxide
(NiOOH). A NiMH battery can have two to three times the capacity of an
equivalent size NiCd. However, compared to the lithium-ion battery, the volumetric energy density is lower and self-discharge is higher.

Lithium-ion batteries (sometimes abbreviated Li-ion batteries) are a type of rechargeable battery in which a lithium ion moves between the anode and cathode. The lithium ion moves from the anode to the cathode during discharge and from the cathode to the anode when charging.
Lithium ion batteries are commonly used in consumer electronics. They are currently one of the most popular types of battery for portable electronics, with one of the best energy-to-weight ratios, no memory effect, and a slow loss of charge
when not in use. In addition to uses for consumer electronics,
lithium-ion batteries are growing in popularity for defense,
automotive, and aerospace applications due to their high energy
density. However certain kinds of mistreatment may cause Li-ion
batteries to explode.
