Getting to know your DSLR (Taking it off of the Automatic Setting)
Understanding The Exposure Triangle:
ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed:
Shutter speed: “TV” (Time Value) or “S” (Shutter) Mode
Controls how long is your Aperture open =
How long will light affect your image
Any “time-based” shot (Suspended mid-jump or blurred sheets of flowing water)
Aperture: “AP” Aperture Priority, “AV” (Aperture Value) or “A” Aperture Mode
How wide is the “hole” in your camera is that lets light in
Shallow Depth of Field vs. Everything in crisp focus
ISO (Light sensitivity) ( International Standards Organization- Jeapordy answer)
Meaning that you can shoot photos in less than bright conditions by increasing the sensitivity of your film (sensor)
- Sensitivity to light (Higher ISO allows you to shoot in darker situations, but will add grain (noise))
Use Aperture Priority to adjust Depth of Field
Use Time Value Mode to adjust Time-Based Photos -The camera will correct for everything else
Use Manual Mode once you are comfortable with Aperture Priority + Time Value Mode.
