Exposure Controlled by 3 Components
Aperture
Shutter Speed
ISO
45. Good Picture – Correct Exposure
Aperture
Controls the Amount of Light Entering the
Camera Through the Aperture or the Iris of the
Camera Lens and Falling on the Camera Sensor.
46. Good Picture – Correct Exposure
Aperture
The aperture of the camera behaves exactly in
the same way the iris of our eyes do.
When there is too much light the iris becomes
SMALL or closes up
When there is less light the iris enlarges or
OPENS UP
47. Good Picture – Correct Exposure
Aperture
Very Sunny - Small iris – Higher the Number
Low Light – iris opens up – Lower the Number
48. Good Picture – Correct Exposure
Shutter Speed
The Speed at which the Shutter of the Camera
Opens and Closes.
It controls the amount of time the light gets to
fall on/read by the sensor.

ISO
ISO helps the camera Sensor to be more or less
sensitive to light.
Usually a Higher ISO is used when the Light is
Low.
Note – Higher the ISO, grainier the picture.
56. Composition/Framing – Depth of Field
• When the background is out of focus
• For 2 reasons
• The focus is on the object in the front
• And the Aperture is fully open, ie the light is
low or the light entering the camera is less
because of the settings you have chosen.
