Aperture - ✔✔Size of the opening in a lens
Shutter Speed - ✔✔How fast the shutter opens and closes
ISO - ✔✔How sensitive the camera sensor is to light
Depth of Field - ✔✔Term that refers to how much of the image is in focus
High Dynamic Range (HDR) - ✔✔Several photos of the same scene taken
at different exposures
Bokeh - ✔✔The blur or orbs created when lights or backgrounds are out of
focus in an image
Al Servo or Continuous Focus - ✔✔the autofocus system will continue
focusing until you take the photo, so the subject is still sharp, even if they

Images taken at high ISOs have a lot of noise, so it's best to use the lowest
