Aperture
The aperture controls the amount of light that enters
the camera. The size of the aperture is closely related
to the brightness of a photo.
Shutter speed
Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes
to open and close the shutter. Usually, the shutter
speed is manually adjustable. The measurement of the
shutter speed is known as the "Exposure Value" (EV).
ISO sensitivity
The exposure of an image is determined by the
sensitivity of the camera based on international film
standards (ISO standards). On digital cameras, this
sensitivity rating is used to represent the sensitivity of
the digital mechanism that captures the image.
