ISO,SHUTTER SPEED & APETURE

Basic Studio Set Up

ISO 1600, 800, 400, 200, 100, 50

ISO determines the sensor sensitivity to light. ISO setting affects image quality. Lower ISO settings (50, 100) are less sensitive but give better image quality. Higher ISO settings (800, 1600) are more sensitive but may produce noise and give poorer image quality.

Shutter Speeds (in seconds) 1, ½, ¼, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000

Shutter speed determines the length of time the sensor is exposed to light. The shutter speed affects motion blur for moving subjects. Slower shutter speeds produce more blur.

Aperture Settings (f-stops) f1, f2, f2.8, f4, f5.6, f8, f11, f16, f22, f32, f64

Aperture is the size of the opening in the lens that lets light through and it determines the amount of light reaching the sensor during the exposure. It affects the depth of field in the image. Smaller apertures produce greater depth of field.

Aperture Settings (f-stops) f1, f2, f2.8, f4, f5.6, f8, f11, f16, f22, f32, f64

Aperture is the size of the opening in the lens that lets light through and it determines the amount of light reaching the sensor during the exposure. It affects the depth of field in the image. Smaller apertures produce greater depth of field.

depth of field (DOF) is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.

If I change my shutter speed from 1/60 sec to 1/250 sec., is it exposing for a longer or shorter time?

How many stops faster (more sensitive) is ISO 400 than ISO 100?

If you had low light, which ISO setting would you choose for action photography?

Q & A

Does f4 let more or less light into the camera than f11?

Explain how a slow shutter speed allows a moving subject to blur.

TASK:

1.In your sketchbook write in your own words using the worksheet an explanation on ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture. (Cut out and use images from the sheet)

2.Also in your sketchbook create a studio set up page using the images and information from the studio set up worksheet.
