1) ISO: the cameras sensitivity to light International Organization for Standardization

1) ISO: the cameras sensitivity to light *ISO Used in Speed Noise Sensitivity 100 Brightness Slow Low Low 200 400 Medium 800 High 1600 2000 Darkness Fast High Muy High International Organization for Standardization

ISO is ‘Noisy’.... especially in the shadows!

ISO is ‘Noisy’.... especially in the shadows! (Low) ISO 100

ISO is ‘Noisy’.... especially in the shadows! (Low) ISO 100 (High) ISO 800

What is Noise?

What is Noise? ISO 100 Less noise

What is Noise? ISO 100 ISO 400 Less noise Some noise

What is Noise? ISO 100 ISO 400 ISO 800+ Less noise Some noise More noise

2) Aperture: the size of the lens opening

2) Aperture: the size of the lens opening measured in f stops

2) Aperture: the size of the lens opening measured in f stops More light in Narrow Depth of Field

2) Aperture: the size of the lens opening measured in f stops More light in Less light in Narrow Depth of Field Wide Depth of Field

Depth of Field: how much is in focus

Depth of Field: how much is in focus Shallow DoF

Depth of Field: how much is in focus Shallow DoF Large DoF

3) Shutter Speed... how fast the camera snaps a pic

3) Shutter Speed... how fast the camera snaps a pic Used in Speed Bulb Darkness Slow 1 1/2 1/15 1/30 1/60 1/125 1/500 1/1000 Brightness Fast

Shutter Speed

Shutter Speed 1/15 second

Shutter Speed 1/15 second 1/1000 second
