The lens itself is never going to be able to change, correct. When we get into implifying the problem by “bringing up the ISO” though, this is where you’ll run into problems. Anybody can raise ISO from 800 to 3200 but then you run the risk of inadvertently producing massive amounts of noise on your photo. This is why Google introduced HDR+ to reduce noise.
