Parts of a camera

Exposure

Shutter SpeedThe amount of time for which the camera shutter remains open

defines the shutter speed.

• The shutter serves two purposes:

– Controlling the duration of the exposure: (Low Light or Bright Light)

– Controlling the subject movement:(Fast movement or slow movement)

Under - Exposure

Over - Exposure

High Shutter Speed:

• Shutter open for a very short time.• Less light comes in.

Low Shutter Speed:

•Shutter remains open for a longer period. •More light comes in.

Representation of Shutter Speed

– Day time: high shutter speed to avoid over exposure.

– Capturing fast moving subjects: high shutter speed.

– Low light conditions : slow shutter speed to allow more light.

Shutter Speed – 14 seconds

Shutter Speed – 30 seconds

Shutter Speed – 13 seconds

Using slow shutter speed to show motion

1/8th second

1/60th second

In low light conditions, longer shutter speed can result in blur.

Use of tripod

APERTURE An aperture of the camera is a hole or an opening

through which light is admitted.

f- NUMBER• The lens aperture is denoted by the f-SCALE:

the ratio of focal length to effective aperture diameter

Inversely Proportional

sensor’s sensitivity to light.
