2.582×10¹²²ISO

That's 10,086,913,586,276,987,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000× as fast as an extreme low-light setting — nothing on our list beats it. That is 400 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 stops to ISO

DIN is logarithmic and ISO is not: DIN = 10 × log₁₀(ISO) + 1, so every doubling of ISO adds three DIN degrees.

Example: 400 stops = 2.582×10¹²² ISO.
