Aperture, shutter speed- how do they work

Aperture, Shutter Speed + ISO

This Photo is taken in f/2.8


This picture was taken in f/16


1:  You would want to relate aperture to the face, you should every time you do so whether it's a self portrait or just a normal picture always make sure you do so.

2:  The smaller the aperture the greater depth of field, the higher the aperture the more light you get.

3:  If you have a small/narrow aperture the deeper and greater your depth of field will be.

Program, aperture priority and manual
Program: The camera automatically chooses the Aperture and the Shutter Speed for you, based on the amount of light that passes through the lens. This is the mode you want to use for "point and shoot" moments, when you just need to quickly snap a picture.

Aperture Priority: You manually set the lens aperture, while the camera automatically picks the right shutter speed to properly expose the image.  You have full control over subject isolation and you can play with the depth of field, because you can increase or decrease the lens aperture and let the camera do the math on measuring the right shutter speed.

Manual Mode:  Manual mode stands for a full manual control of aperture and shutter speed. In this mode, you can manually set both the aperture and the shutter speed to any value you want - the camera lets you fully take over the exposure controls.



  1.  An advantage of using high ISO is that you'll actually be able to capture whats happening in the game, High ISO = Sports events.
  2. The Author suggested to use low ISO only when the picture doesn't have any action and it still.
  3. The author said that when using a high ISO you should be taking pictures of action such as sports, Cars, and planes.

The aperture settings are from 2.8 to 22
Available shutter speed options are from 1 sec to 1/4000 sec
ISO setting are anywhere from 100 to 25600
