If you're using an SLR camera, making the right settings is essential to get a good exposure. On most SLR cameras, you will find an indicator in the viewfinder connected to a cell to properly expose your photos. By playing with the settings, you will be able to display your photos well.
3 SETTINGS ARE IMPORTANT TO KNOW.
THE EXPOSURE SPEED :
The speed determines the rendering of the movement. It must either freeze the action or give the impression of movement.
It corresponds mechanically to the opening speed of the curtain:
- The slower the speed, the more light you will have, but the less frozen the movement will be.
- The faster the speed, the less light you will have, but the more the movement will be frozen.
THE OPENING :
The aperture in the photo simply corresponds to the diameter of the hole located in the center of the diaphragm.
By opening the aperture more or less, it is possible to control the amount of light that passes through the lens to reach the sensor. So, we can logically say that:
- A large opening lets in a lot of light.
- A small opening lets in little light.
THE ISO SENSITIVITY :
