Concepts in Photography The numbers indicated on the camera are the denominators of Shutter speed exposure values, which means that the higher the number, the less light will be let in. Likewise, the smaller the EV number, the more light will be Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close let in.
Page 115: Iso Sensitivity
Concepts in Photography Because a low ISO sensitivity means the camera will be less sensitive ISO sensitivity to light, you need more light to have an optimal exposure. When using a low ISO sensitivity, open the aperture more or reduce the shutter The exposure of an image is determined by the sensitivity of the speed to allow more light to enter the camera.
