exposure control

Exposure control is the process of managing how much light reaches a camera’s sensor to ensure a clear, well-lit photograph. It involves adjusting three main settings: aperture (lens opening size), shutter speed (how long the sensor is exposed to light), and ISO (sensor’s sensitivity). Proper exposure control balances these settings to capture images that are neither too dark nor too bright, resulting in accurate and visually appealing photos. It allows photographers to adapt to different lighting conditions and create desired effects in their images.
