Shooting photos or videos on manual mode can be quite the daunting task. There are a lot of terms, rules and even numbers associated with capturing the perfect shot. The three most important composition elements on any camera are ISO, shutter speed and aperture (f-stop). All three of these elements work together and depend on each other to get a desired look.
The ISO measures how much light reaches the sensor, and it is the main factor in how light/dark your photo is. It also determines if the photo will be grainy. The shutter speed determines how long the shutter remains open as a picture is taken. The slower the shutter speed, the longer the exposure time. The shutter speed and aperture work together to control the amount of light that actually reaches the sensor (this is how they work with ISO). The shutter speed controls how long light is exposed, and aperture controls how much light passes through the lens. The main job of the shutter speed is to determine the blur of a moving subject. If you wanted to take a picture of someone running and have them in focus with the background blurred, you would use a faster shutter speed to stop the action, and a slower shutter speed to blur the runner and focus in on the background. The aperture is the opening of a camera lens. It determines how much light passes through the lens, but it does more than that. It is also important for defining the depth of field. Lower apertures (like f/3.5) allow more light to pass through and produce a shallow depth of field, while higher apertures block light and produce a wider depth of field. |
