The exposure triangle: the 3 most important manual settings

Shutter speed

The shutter speed determines how long the lens opening of the camera is exposed to light. With a long shutter speed, the shutter stays open longer, so more light can fall on your sensor. You can also use the shutter speed to freeze moments, or to create the illusion of movement.

Aperture

The aperture determines the opening of the lens. The larger the opening, the more light falls on the sensor at the same time. In addition, the aperture determines the depth of field. A larger lens opening results in a smaller depth of field. This allows you to focus on your subject and create a blurry background.

Everything on the aperture

ISO values

The ISO value indicates the light sensitivity of the sensor in your camera. You can raise the ISO value in situations with low light. That way, the sensor catches the available light more easily. A high ISO value does result in more noise in your image, so don't raise it too much.
