Exposure Triangle
How the Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO work together to make the correct exposure.
Camera Modes
Aperture Priority- put your camera on "A."
It determines the depth of field.
f/1.8 is the shallowest depth of field, whereas f/22 is the deepest depth of field.
Shallow depth of field is where the foreground is in focus and the middle and background are out of focus. Best for photographing food, babies, close up of flowers, etc.
Deep depth of field is where the foreground, middle and background are in focus. Best for photographing landscapes.
When in doubt, f/8 is great! because it's a happy medium- the foreground and middle ground will be in focus.
Shutter Priority- put your camera on "S."
It determines movement.
For fast moving subjects, use 1/750 second or faster.
To capture a "blur" or nighttime photography, use 1/30 second or slower.
If you want to take photos at night, do about 1/3 second or slower.
Note: if your shutter is slower then 1/60th of second, use a tripod!
Program Mode- put your camera on "P"
The camera determines what the best exposure will be, based on what it sees in the scene.
ISO
The brighter the subject, the lower the ISO.
Outside in the sun, 100- 400 IS0 (super bright, 100, cloudy, 400)
Inside, 800- 2000 ISO, adjusting as you see fit.
Please note that the higher the number, the more chance you have to have "noise"- large pixels that decrease the quality of the photo
Again, use a tripod whenever you can- if you have a tripod, you can use a lower ISO since the shutter speed will be longer.
