Digital Photography Made Easy – Step-
by-Step Guide for Beginners & Pros
Shutter Speed
TERM
Image
The length of time when the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light. 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.
DEFINITION
F Stop / Aperture
TERM
Image
A opening where light passes through into the camera. It controls the amount of light that passes
through the lens.
DEFINITION
ISO
TERM
Image
A number used to express the light sensitivity of the camera.
DEFINITION
Faster shutter speed
TERM
Image
There's a lighter room, so it would have a lower F stop
DEFINITION
Higher ISO #
TERM
Image
The more sensitive the camera is to light
DEFINITION
, Smaller #s for F stop (1.4)
TERM
Image
More light = The lens is wide open
DEFINITION
Larger #s for F stop (22)
TERM
Image
Less light = The lens and aperture are closed in
DEFINITION
ISO #s in a dark setting?
TERM
Image
400, 800, 1600, 3200...cont
The higher the ISO, the more sensitive the sensor is to light
DEFINITION
Slower shutter speed
TERM
Image
1 second
DEFINITION
SS understanding of which number is faster and which number is slower
TERM
Image
The larger the number, the faster the speed. 250 is faster than 60.
DEFINITION
SS understanding w/ f stop and ISO
TERM
Image
If it's a lighter area, do a larger number for ss (FAST SS), and a lower f stop (2.8)
