Camera Control Big 3

ISO Shutter Speed ApertureLight Sensitivity

High number means more light, more sensitivity (grain). Low means a

“clearer” image but could be darker depending on conditions.

Exposure TimeThe timing in which the shutter opens to

allow light to ‘imprint’ data onto the sensor. Longer times mean brighter, but

possibly blurrier images.

Light AmountThe aperture is how open the physical lens

is and can be. This will work with shutter speed to determine how much light hits the

sensor. It also controls the Depth of Field (blurry background effect).

Low (open) means more light and shallow. High (closed) means more things in focus

and less light.
