What are aperture and exposure settings in photography?

What are aperture and exposure settings in photography?

Aperture controls the amount of light entering the lens, while exposure settings determine how long the sensor is exposed to light.

How do I choose the right aperture for my photos?

Choosing the right aperture depends on the effect you want. A lower f-stop (like f/2.8) gives a blurred background, while a higher f-stop (like f/16) keeps more in focus.

What is the relationship between aperture and shutter speed?

Aperture and shutter speed work together to control exposure. A wider aperture allows for faster shutter speeds, while a smaller aperture requires slower speeds to let in enough light.

Can you explain how ISO fits into this?

ISO measures the sensor's sensitivity to light. Higher ISO allows for better performance in low light but can introduce noise. It's a balance with aperture and shutter speed.
