All cameras have three basic settings. They are:

Shutter Speed

Lens Opening

Focus

To get a good picture, you need to adjust the shutter speed and the lens opening settings to

control the amount of light entering your camera.

The

shutter speed

controls the length of time the shutter will stay open to allow light to reach

the film.

A slow shutter speed lets light in to expose the film for a long time.

1/125 sec, f/11

A fast shutter speed lets light in to expose the film for a short time.

1/1OOO sec, f/11

The lens opening controls how much light will enter the camera while the shutter is open. A
large lens opening lets in a lot of light.

f/4

A small lens opening lets in a small amount of light.

f/16
