Camera shake

When you are trying to use a slow shutter speed and you cannot keep the camera still. You would use a tripod.

P mode

You set the ISO, camera set shutter speed and aperture according to the exposure meter

Exposure

Amount of light that reaches the film/light sensitive chip

Shutter speed 1/8 of a second

Aperture f/11

Shutter speed 1 second

Aperture f/32

Shutter speed 1 /30th of a second

Aperture setting F/5.6

Shutter speed one 1/125 of a second

Aperture setting f-stop 2.8

Shutter speed 1/60 of a second

Aperture setting f-stop f/4

Shutter speed 1/4 of a second

Aperture setting f/16

Shutter speed 1/2 of a second

Aperture setting f/22

Shutter speed 1/ 15th of a second

Aperture setting f/8

Film types (Traditional film)

Black and white negative, color negative, color positive, black-and-white positive

Lens aperture/F - stop

Controls the amount of light passing through the lens for correct exposure

Bracketed exposures/bracketing

Done when there are uncertain exposures due to an inaccurate light meter reading, taking three exposures of one shot

Deep depth of field

Everything in your picture is in focus

Three factors that affect the depth of field

F/stop, distance from the camera to the subject, focal length of the lens

Short depth of field

Foreground in focus background is blurry

Fast shutter speed

Freezes motion, not for use in darker venues.

Shutter

Metal blades in the camera that open/close, regulating how long light is permitted to pass through the lens

Small aperture

More depth of field

F - stop

Numerical value, indicates size of the lens aperture/controls how much light passes through a lens

Stops

Quantity of light, the lower the f-stop number, the larger lens opening is. The higher the f-stop the smaller the aperture lens is.

Depth of field

Range of sharp focus from foreground to background

File formats used for digital photos

Raw, tiff, JPEG, PSD

Aperture settings

Small aperture number 2.8 is a large opening, large aperture number is a small opening f-22

Modern cameras

Small, medium, large format film, digital

Short depth of field

Subject matter is in, focus the elements in the background are out of focus. Use a large aperture.

Shutter speed

The amount of time the shelter stays open to expose the film to the digital chip (F-Stop)

Light meter

This Measures the brightness of a scene to help determine the correct exposure

ISO

This measures the camera light sensitivity

Slow shutter speed

Used in settings with less light, Blur any movement within the scene

Aperture priority mode

User can select f-stop, camera automatically sets a shutter speed based on light meter reading, the rest of the settings are on auto.

Shutter priority mode

User can select shutter speed camera sets an F/stop based on light meter readings, the rest of the settings are on auto.

Manual mode

User sets up all settings on camera. Focus, shutter speed, aperture and ISO settings

Equivalent exposures

Using different f-stops and shutter speed combinations to expose the film to exact same amount up light
