  2. Guide number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guide_number

    With the GE Synchro‑Press No. 11 for instance, a modern camera with a focal-plane shutter and X sync would require a shutter speed of 1 / 15 th of a second (67 ms) to obtain an even exposure across the entire image area—and a not-insignificant boost in the guide number by capturing all the luminous energy to the left of the 20 ms peak.

  3. Reciprocity (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocity_(photography)

    In photography, reciprocity refers to the relationship whereby the total light energy – proportional to the total exposure, the product of the light intensity and exposure time, controlled by aperture and shutter speed, respectively – determines the effect of the light on the film. That is, an increase of brightness by a certain factor is ...

  4. Digital camera modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_camera_modes

    S or Tv: Shutter priority or Time value enables manual control of the shutter speed, and aperture is calculated by the camera for proper exposure (given an ISO sensitivity). M: Manual mode both shutter speed and aperture are independently set manually (with ISO sensitivity also set manually), where proper image exposure requires accurate manual ...

  5. Looney 11 rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looney_11_rule

    The basic rule is: "For astronomical photos of the Moon's surface, set aperture to f /11 and shutter speed to the [reciprocal of the] ISO film speed [or ISO setting]." [1] With ISO 100, the photographer should set the shutter speed to 1/100 or 1/125 second. (On some cameras, 1/125 second is the available setting nearest to 1/100 second.)

  6. Exposure (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_(photography)

    An approximately correct exposure will be obtained on a sunny day using ISO 100 film, an aperture of f /16 and a shutter speed of 1/100 of a second. This is called the sunny 16 rule: at an aperture of f /16 on a sunny day, a suitable shutter speed will be one over the film speed (or closest equivalent).

  7. Film speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed

    The ISO arithmetic speed has a useful property for photographers without the equipment for taking a metered light reading. Correct exposure will usually be achieved for a frontlighted scene in bright sun if the aperture of the lens is set to f/16 and the shutter speed is the reciprocal of the ISO film speed (e.g. 1/100 second for 100 ISO film).

    Sensitivity priority automatic exposure mode, where the photographer sets the ISO sensitivity and the AE firmware sets the aperture or shutter speed. TC Teleconverter. A lens accessory that fits between the lens and camera body and extends the focal length of the lens, often by 1.4x or 2x, at the cost of reduced light, decreased image quality ...

  9. Bracketing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracketing

    ISO bracketing is a form of simulated exposure bracketing in which aperture and shutter speed (thus depth of field and motion blur) remain constant. The brightness levels in this case are only altered by increasing or decreasing gain , or amplification of the digital signal prior to the conversion to an image file such as a JPEG or Tag Image ...
