Back to Basics

Photography Basic Information

ISO

• Related to the camera’s sensor sensitivity
• Higher the ISO = more light
• Higher the ISO = more likely to get a grainy image
• Best outcomes are when the ISO is lowest

Aperture (Lens Opening Size)

• Controls depth of field
• Smaller the size = smaller the focus
• Higher F/Stop = less light
• Higher F/Stop = large depth

Shutter Speed

• Controls Motion Blur
• Slower shutter speed = more motion blur

Guideline to Improve Images

Image Too Dark?	Image Too Bright?
1) Slow Shutter Speed	1) Lower ISO
2) Lower Aperture	2) Raise Shutter Speed
3) Raise ISO	3) Raise Aperture
