On a sunny day and with ISO 100 film / setting in the camera, one sets the aperture to f /16 and the shutter speed (i.e. exposure time) to 1 / 100 or 1 / 125 [2] seconds (on some cameras 1 / 125 second is the available setting nearest to 1 / 100 second).
Night photography (also called nighttime photography) is the capturing of images outdoors between dusk and dawn. Night photographers generally have a choice between using artificial lighting and using a long exposure , exposing the shot for seconds, minutes, or hours in order to capture enough light to record an image.
Long-exposure photography is often used in a night-time setting, where the lack of light forces longer exposures, if maximum quality is to be retained. Increasing ISO sensitivity allows for shorter exposures, but substantially decreases image quality through reduced dynamic range and higher noise. By leaving the camera's shutter open for an ...
Automatic modes: Auto, Action, Portrait, Night Portrait, Landscape, Macro. A dial with more modes. Most digital cameras support the ability to choose among a number of configurations, or modes for use in various situations.
A demonstration of the effect of exposure in night photography. Longer shutter speeds result in increased exposure. The true characteristic of most photographic emulsions is not actually linear (see sensitometry), but it is close enough over the exposure range of about 1 second to 1/1000 of a second. Outside of this range, it becomes necessary ...

In photography, the metering mode refers to the way in which a camera determines exposure. Cameras generally allow the user to select between spot, center-weighted average, or multi-zone metering modes. The different metering modes allow the user to select the most appropriate one for use in a variety of lighting conditions.
