it helps me to remember why smaller aperture numbers mean more light: if you think of a pie, 2 pieces mean each serving is a lot larger than if there are 22 pieces of pie.

Thank you for your very thorough explanation. I've watched so many and as a person with ADHD it's just too much for me. Your explanation, stating keywords that I will easily remember per controls will help me remember. Aperture - may blur or crisp background, shutter - is more about my own movement or subjects', and ISO will give noise when higher. Though there's more to this but I wrote down all you said so I will remember. Thank you very much

The triangle is light, time and diaphragm. Iso dictates what exposure is necessary to obtain a good result. Two isos can have same exposure. Exposure is the quantity of light falling on the sensor whatever it's sensitivity.
@melaniezette8864 ай бұрын
Films people knew using high Iso films lowered exposure VS low sensitivity. Today our sensors have only one native sensitivity so higher iso choice means underexposition.
@forestchaput4 ай бұрын
Good insight! But there are actually many cameras with dual-gain ADC's which result in multiple native ISOs.

I find with my camera (Nikon D5300) that in many situations I can’t easily read the exposure data in the viewfinder due to the light levels from the subject. Hence I still have to look at the screen, which is sometimes very inconvenient.

A very interesting and informative tutorial series you have provided. I would have preferred, you had brought out classic film cameras from yesteryear, in the days where and when the photographer had to determine all parameters, ahead of time, to get the best photo. I'm old school in this regard, but I do have friends and associates who own and use the latest flagship digital cameras who rely too heavily on exposure and focusing automation. It is way too easy for them to bracket challenging exposure conditions over multiple frames, covering all the bases. I understand how for sport and journalistic photography, where the subject is on the move and the lighting variability, as it does, how these automations could facilitate image capture greatly. But for more static and composed photography, large and medium format cameras -- that require the photographer to understand these basics -- may be a better place to start...at the beginning

okay, so how does film speed relate to iso? like, if film is labeled 400. if 400 is the best shutter speed for this film, why don't you just always keep shutter speed at 400? and then 800 means more sensitivity- are the numbers on film like- max speed for the least noise?I don't understand why it's specified if you can just change all the settings around
@forestchaput6 ай бұрын
Great question! Film speed and ISO are the exact same thing. ISO 100 on a digital camera is almost the same sensitivity as ISO 100 film. Just be careful, ISO 400 doesn't mean that 1/400th of a second is the best shutter speed for that ISO. The two are correlated, but they don't relate like that.
