Exposure – the amount of light a digital cameras sensors captures when a photo is taken. Too much = over exposed, Too little = under exposed.

Exposure is determined off ISO and Shutter speed.

Aperture – Controls the amount of blur or sharpness around your subject.

Shutter speed – Shows the movement of a fast moving object.

ISO – select the right amount of light you need for your visual effects.

Exposure Metre – shows what level your exposure is at.

White balance – The intensity of colours in an image.

Auto focus – Atomically focuses the camera on the subject of the image.

Manual focus – by adjusting the depth of field and using the focus wheel, an image can be brought into focus without auto-aid.

The set up in the photo is the one I used for my ‘Objects’ photoshoot, this is an example of the type of studio set up that would be used to match with the settings above.
