Study Notes

  • Exposure is the amount of light that reaches a camera's sensor over a period of time.
  • The right exposure is a balance between overexposure and underexposure.
  • Exposure is made up of three different settings: shutter speed, aperture, and ISO.
  • Shutter speed measures the length of exposure and is measured in fractions of a second.
  • Aperture is the adjustable lens opening that controls the amount of light allowed into the camera.
  • ISO represents the sensitivity of the light sensor within the camera.
  • A wide aperture creates a shallow depth of field, while a smaller aperture creates a greater depth of field.
  • Higher ISO can result in pictures filled with digital noise, while lower ISO can result in underexposed photos.
  • The longer the shutter is open, the more motion blur there will be.
  • The right settings for exposure depend on the lighting conditions and the desired effect.
