125.9stops
That's 310,284,466,689,171,470,000,000,000,000,000,000× as fast as an extreme low-light setting — nothing on our list beats it. That is 125.9 stops from ISO 100.
What it means
How sensitive is that?
Digital cameras quote an ISO-equivalent sensitivity. Above the base ISO the sensor is not more sensitive, only amplified — which is where the noise comes from.
The math
How to convert °DIN to stops
DIN is logarithmic and ISO is not: DIN = 10 × log₁₀(ISO) + 1, so every doubling of ISO adds three DIN degrees.
Example: 400 °DIN = 125.901 stops.
