 Aperture or F/Stops
A photograph consists of two things called an exposure. Low F-Stop
Aperture: F/3.2
An exposure - The amount of light that enters your camera, a Shutter: 1/250
combination of aperture and shutter speed.
ISO: 640
Aperture - the opening in a lens that controls how much light
passes into the camera also affects your depth of field.

Medium F-Stop
F/Stop of Aperture Speed - The size of the opening is
measured in fractions such as f/2.8 thru f/32. Aperture: F/13
Shutter: 1/100
Depth of Field - the amount of your picture that is clear. The ISO: 100
lower your f-stop, the smaller your depth of field or the higher
your f-stop, the larger your depth of field.

AV (Aperture Priority) - refers to the fact that you can change

High F-Stop
the aperture speed but automatically sets the shutter speed
Aperture: F/22
For example: if I have f/2.8 that is a wide opening that allows in Shutter: 1/125
LOTS of light while f/22 is a narrow small opening and only ISO: 800
allows a TINY amount of light.

 Long/Low Shutter Speed
Shutter & Shutter Speed Aperture: F/25
Shutter: 1/30
ISO 100
As I said before there are 2 parts of an exposure and the
second is shutter speed.

Shutter - a device (think of it as a curtain) that opens and closes,

allowing light into the camera for a certain amount of time

Shutter Speed - refers to the amount of time that the camera's

shutter is open varying from 3 full seconds to 1/1000 of a second.

TV/S (Shutter Priority Mode) - refers to the fact that you can change
the shutter speed but automatically sets the aperture Fast/High Shutter Speed
Aperture: F/7.1
Shutter 1/640
For example: If I have 3 second shutter speed that is a really
ISO 160
LONG shutter speed and verses 1/500 is a short shutter
speed.

You may need a long shutter speed because it is low light (if
you don’t want a grainy picture due to ISO being to high, or to Medium Shutter Speed
catch action happening, which comes with blur. Higher shutter Aperture: F/10
speeds can capture events as well but have the opposite effect Shutter: 1/125
ISO: 6400
that you will have a more crisp photograph.

Viewfinder - a device on a camera that shows the view to be included in the picture

Auto Mode - the camera automatically predicts/chooses the appropriate settings for the picture

Program Mode - refers to the fact that you can change the shutter speed and aperture combo, but not separately

Manual Mode - allows you to set your settings for the outcome the photographer wants, by manually setting aperture, shutter speed, and ISO

Aperture - the opening in a lens that controls how much light passes into the camera.

F/Stop of Aperture Speed - The size of the opening is measured in fractions such as f/2.8 thru f/32.

AV (Aperture Priority Mode) - refers to the fact that you can change the aperture speed but automatically sets the shutter speed

Shutter - a device (think of it as a curtain) that opens and closes, allowing light into the camera for a certain amount of time

Shutter Speed - refers to the amount of time that the camera's shutter is open

TV/S (Shutter Priority Mode) - refers to the fact that you can change the shutter speed but automatically sets the aperture

ISO - the sensitivity to light as pertains to a digital sensor
