Correct Exposure

To get correct Exposure: - Aperture (Depth of Filed): This widens or narrows lens

Wider aperture = more light/shallow depth of field Narrow aperture = less light/deep depth of field

- ISO: Camera sensitivity to light Higher ISO – more sensitivity Lower ISO – less sensitivity

- Shutter Speed: Amount of time lens stays open Longer shutter speed = more light Slower shutter speed = less light

• 1. Switch Camera to Manual Setting

• 2. Press Func. Set

• 3. Changing Exposure – Use up and down to scroll to +0. This changes the shutter speed: + = lighter - = darker

Using Manual Settings:

4. Changing ISO – changes sensitivity to light. Lower = less sensitive, Higher = more sensitive

5. Changing White Balance – changes sensitivity to type of light. Lower = less sensitive, Higher = more sensitive
