ISO settings in your camera for every day shooting?
BTW what does "L" mean? 
Well it is because they are not an actual ISO value but a simulated ISO value outside of the sensors true operating parameters. Dont use either the High or Low on your camera the images are greaty defraded. It is like the difference between the Optical Zoom and the Electronic Zoom on P&S cameras, if you go past the Optical you get photos with jagged edges. Same goes for the HiLo BS.Scott Grant wrote: I see, well if you ask me. Why change the pattern, simplify things and keep the numbers rather than getting all fancy with letters and fractions.

L for low.
Because it's not really a change in ISO. It's a change in processing. There are different paths to the same destination, but it's still good to remember what path you are on.
Stops are how photographers measure exposure and light. 1/3rd stop is a slight change, but often noticeable to the human eye.
