The amount of light that reaches the sensor is due to the exposure time. Controls amount of light by the length of time it remains open. F Stop / Aperture - Answers A opening where light passes through into the camera. It controls the amount of light that passes through the lens. ISO - Answers A number used to express the light sensitivity of the camera. Faster shutter speed - Answers There's a lighter room, so it would have a lower F stop Higher ISO # - Answers The more sensitive the camera is to light Smaller #s for F stop (1.4) - Answers More light = The lens is wide open Larger #s for F stop (22) - Answers Less light = The lens and aperture are closed in ISO #s in a dark setting? - Answers 400, 800, 1600, 3200...cont The higher the ISO, the more sensitive the sensor is to light Slower shutter speed - Answers 1 second SS understanding of which number is faster and which number is slower - Answers The larger the number, the faster the speed. 250 is faster than 60. SS understanding w/ f stop and ISO - Answers If it's a lighter area, do a larger number for ss (FAST SS), and a lower f stop (2.8) Aperture settings from larger lens opening to smaller - Answers 1, 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22, and 32 The lower the F stop number - Answers The wider the lens opening, letting in twice as much light as the f stop number UP the scale, half as much light as the next number DOWN the scale f stop 5.6 is.... - Answers Twice as much light as 8 and half as much light as 4 f stop 11 is... - Answers Twice as much light as 16 and half as much light as 8 TO HELP WITH UNDERSTANDING OF f stop: If the f stop number is smaller (2) than... - Answers the wider the lens is (smaller number, the less closure of the lens = it's wider). Smaller number, more light. The lower the ISO (higher #)... 800 - Answers it will be smoother and grain free shots The higher the ISO (lower #)... 100 - Answers it will be more detailed Slower shutter speed for moving things - Answers moving things are blurry Faster shutter speed for moving things - Answers moving things freeze in action Shutter Speeds from slower to fast - Answers 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000 More light, shutter speed? (freezes motion) - Answers faster shutter speed (1/125, 1/250, 1/500, cont) Less light, shutter speed? (blurs motion) - Answers slower shutter speed (1, 1/2, 1/4, cont) Aperture - Answers The area from near to far in a scene that is acceptably sharp in a photograph Shallow depth of field - Answers aperture is wide open (2.8) and it only puts part of the picture in focus Smaller aperture (f/22) depth of field - Answers most is in focus (MORE IN FOCUS/BIGGER #) Larger aperture (f/2.8) depth of field - Answers less in focus (LESS IN FOCUS/SMALLER #) f/22 and 1/45 - Answers Blurry f/8 and 1/30 - Answers Semi-frozen f/2.8 and 1/250 - Answers Freeze Combinations - Answers f2.8 - 1/1000 f4 - 1/500 f5.6 - 1/250 f8 - 1/125 f11 - 1/60 f16 - 1/30 f22 - 1/15 Understanding of combos - Answers If the F # is smaller, than the SS # should be larger Fast shutter speed (1/500) with a wide (large) aperture (f2) - Answers This brings the most focus to moving object (freezes) Medium shutter speed (1/60) with a medium wide aperture (f5.6) - Answers There's some blur on the moving object and the background is a little fuzzy but more in focus then th
