Image for camera exposure

camera exposure

Camera exposure refers to the amount of light that reaches the camera's sensor when taking a photograph. It’s controlled by three main settings: aperture (how wide the lens opens), shutter speed (how long the sensor is exposed to light), and ISO (the sensor’s sensitivity to light). Proper exposure results in a well-lit image with good detail, while underexposure appears too dark and overexposure too bright or washed out. Adjusting these settings allows photographers to capture scenes accurately or artistically, depending on the desired effect.
