Image for Camera Settings

Camera Settings

Camera settings control how your camera captures an image. Key settings include ISO, which adjusts the camera's sensitivity to light; a higher ISO is better in low light but can add grain. Shutter speed determines how long the camera's sensor is exposed to light; faster speeds freeze motion, while slower speeds can create blur. Aperture controls the size of the opening that lets light in—wider openings (lower f-number) let in more light and create a shallow depth of field, blurring backgrounds. Balancing these settings allows you to achieve desired brightness, sharpness, and focus effects in your photos.
