Which setting in the exposure triangle primarily controls the amount of light reaching the camera sensor?

Shutter speed

How does increasing ISO affect the exposure in the exposure triangle?

Increases the sensitivity of the camera sensor to light

What does the exposure triangle consist of?

Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO

How does increasing the aperture size affect the exposure in the exposure triangle?

It increases the depth of field and reduces the amount of light entering the camera

Study Notes

Exposure Triangle

  • The exposure triangle refers to the three fundamental elements of exposure in photography: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.

Aperture

  • The aperture setting primarily controls the amount of light reaching the camera sensor.
  • Increasing the aperture size (smaller f-stop number) allows more light to enter the camera, resulting in a brighter exposure.

ISO

  • Increasing ISO affects the exposure by amplifying the available light, making the image brighter.
  • A higher ISO setting can affect image quality, introducing noise or grain, especially in low-light conditions.

Exposure Triangle Elements

  • The exposure triangle consists of three interdependent elements: aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
  • Each element works together to control the overall exposure of an image.
