Main Camera Controls
ISO - refer to the sensitivity of the sensor to light.
Low ISO value = low light sensitivity and high image quality
High ISO value = high light sensitivity and lower image quality
An ISO of 100 or 200 is suited to photographing in sunny conditions
An ISO of 400 or 800 is suited to photographing in cloudy conditions or dusk / dawn
An ISO of 1600 or higher is suited to low light conditions, dark room or night photography.
ISO T100 , 200 , 400 , 800 , 1600 , 3200.
Aperture - adjusts the size of the opening through which light passes to the image sensor.
The aperture can be opened to let more light or closed for less light. As well as this smaller apertures let less light strike the image sensor, image is darker. There for larger apertures let in more light, image is lighter. However to attain the right exposure for a given aperture you need to adjust the shutter speed.
EXAMPLE... an over exposed image needs the camera shutter speed increasing.
Large aperture = low f. stop = narrow depth of field
Small aperture = high f. stop = wide depth of field
Shutter Speed - means timing and duration of opening and closing of the shutter curtain at the back of the camera.
A fast shutter speed will freeze action while and slower speed creates blurring effect.
Main shutter speed are 1/500 , 1/250 , 1/125 , 1/60 , 1/30 , 1/15 , 1/8 , 1/4 , 1/2
