ISO - The time it takes to snap the photo
Min.(ISO 80)
Max.(ISO 6400)
Lower = Takes a slower picture
Higher = Takes a very fast picture (freeze frame)
Lower = Need a lot of light
Higher = Don't need a lot of light
Lower = Less Noise
Higher = More Noise
Aperture - Controls the Depth of Field
Min.(f/1.8)
Max.(f/18)
Lower = Bigger hole
Higher = Smaller hole
Lower = Lets more light in
Higher = Lets less light in
Lower = Smaller focus range (less item in focus)
Higher = Bigger focus range (more items in focus)
Shutter Speed - The time the shutter will stay open to take the picture
Min.(1/25,000)th of a second
Max.(30) Second
Lower = Lets more light in
Higher = Lets less light in
Exposure - Controls the brightness/darkness level
Min.(-3)
Max.(+3)
Lower = Brighter image
Higher = Darker image
Metering Modes - Controls how and where the light is taken thru the lens
Spot - The camera will only measure a very small area of the scene
Center Weighted Avg - the meter concentrates between 60 to 80 percent of the sensitivity towards the central part of the Camera
Multi-zone (aka - matrix, evaluative, honeycomb, segment metering, esp) - The camera measures the light intensity in several points in the scene, and then combines the results to find the settings for the best exposure
