Exposure Overexposure: the recorded image or video appears too bright, and details may be "blown out" in a wash of white light. Overexposed images may look too bright because they were captured with settings that allow too much light into the sensor:  ISO...

The depth of field is the distance between the nearest and furthest in-focus objects in an image. A narrow depth of field will have a very narrow area in which objects will be in focus. A wide (or large) depth of field will put most elements of the image in fo...

ISO stands for the International Organization for Standardization (it is technically not an acronym). This organization established a numerical scale to rate how sensitive different kinds of film were to light (called a film's speed). The current standard date...

The F-Stop setting determines how much light is allowed to enter a camera through the lens to reach the imaging sensor. F-stop is normally a setting of the lens that is attached to the camera, and is controlled mechanically, by opening or closing the lens aper...

Shutter Speed The shutter speed, aka exposure time, is the time that the image sensor is exposed to light when capturing an image. The shutter is a mechanical window inside the camera that opens and closes to allow light into the sensor for a selected amount ...
