EOS R ISO L Values

Hey everyone,

 

I googled the heck out of this and couldn't find an answer! On my Canon EOS R the lower ISO values show up as ISO L for ISO 100-320. 

 

Everything I saw online pointed to older cameras and ISO L50, but thats not what i'm seeing on the EOS R. 

 

So for the EOS R, what exactly are the ISO L values? Why are they called L for 100-320 ISO, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of using them? I've seen comparisons online about ISO values and it seems that lower is not always less noisey.

 

Just to give you some perspective on what I shoot - 90% of my camera usage is for video that ends up on YouTube or social media. Its shot indoors with fully controlled lighting, so I can pretty much use light to get to whatever ISO I need to achieve the cleanest image.

 

Thanks!

I think you should refer to the instruction manual, instead of the internet.

 What manual are you looking at?  The "Advanced User Guide" is available from the same product support page where you should have downloaded your camera's software.  I am not aware of any other manuals.
