“ Aperture ” |
|
APERTURE is referred to the lens diaphragm opening inside a photographic lens
|
- A “small” aperture means a small hole, but a big number, like f11.
- Small apertures (small hole, big number) have deep depths of field, meaning more sharpness around the subject. You can see more examples of this below.
| - A “big” aperture means a big hole, but a small number, like f2.8.
- Large apertures (big hole, small number) have shallow depths of field, meaning more blurriness around the subject.
|
Example of small aperture: F16
| Example of large aperture: F2.8

“ Shutter Speed ” SHUTTER SPEED is the amount of time that the shutter is open. It also affects the amount of light that hits the sensor.
|
- The faster the shutter speed, the less light that comes into the camera.
- A fast shutter speed would be something like 1/2000th of a second.
- The faster the shutter speed the better the camera will freeze the action of an event.
| - Then slower the shutter speed, the more light will enter into the camera.
- A slow shutter speed would be 1/30th of a second.
- In slow shutter speed the subject will be blurred as it passes across the viewfinder and the background will be sharp.
|
Example of fast shutter speed : 1/1500th
| Example of slow shutter speed : 1/30th
|
“ ISO Sensitivity ” ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor. It was measured in numbers like 100, 200, 400, 800 etc.
|
- The lower the number the lower the sensitivity of the sensor toward light. Like ISO 100 and 200 .
- Lower ISO numbers require more light to get a good exposure.
- A lower ISO setting is preferred whenever possible since it helps to reduce this noise or grain.
| - The higher the number the higher the sensitivity of sensor toward light like ISO 800 and 1600.
- Higher ISO numbers require less light to get the right exposure.
- The higher the ISO increases the noise level of the image (In film this is often referred to as "grain")
|
Example of Low ISO : 100
| Example of High ISO: 800 |
Example of finer grain in ISO 100
| Example of grain (noise) in ISO 800 |
