  1. The aperture controls how much light can enter the camera. Shutter speed controls the duration of the exposure. ISO controls the sensitivity of the camera’s sensor to a certain amount of light.
  2. You should change your ISO depending on the lighting conditions.
  3. Aperture priority lets you choose the aperture but the camera choses the shutter speed. Shutter priority lets you choose the shutter speed but the camera chooses the aperture setting.
  4. To put the camera in auto focus, you have to flip the switch on the lens to “AF.”
  5. Light metering will give you a consistent exposure.
  6. White balance removes unrealistic color casts. You would need to change it because objects can appear a different color in the picture.
  7. Depth of field is the area of sharpness in front of and behind the subject. Good depth of field focuses on the subject and blurs the background. Shallow depth of field shows the entire scene in focus.
  8. The drive and metering modes are Matrix, Center-Weighted, Highlight-Weighted, and Spot metering.
  9. Exposure composition allows photographers to adjust the exposure to lighten or darken images.
