That's a function of 'film speed'.

Modern digital cameras can adjust to provide the illusion of different
film
speeds.


Right, but the higher ISO settings yield more noisy images.


They do with film as well...

Well, not 'noise' but you know what I mean...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
