  2. Guide number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guide_number

    Thus, a camera with a fastest shutter speed of 1 / 400 th of a second (one that began exposures 18.75 ms after a bulb was fired with M sync triggering), and which was set to 1 / 25 th of a second, would close its shutter 59 ms after triggering a flashbulb (18.75 ms + 40 ms = 58.75 ms) and would achieve the maximum rated guide number from the No ...

  3. 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).

  4. Shutter (photography) - Wikipedia

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

    The life-expectancy of a mechanical shutter is often expressed as a number of shutter cycles. Most digital cameras save the shutter cycle information along with the photos, which contains valuable information such as shutter speed, aperture, and shutter count. [12] There are multiple websites and applications to access the EXIF data.

    A shutter that opens and closes near to the film or image sensor, usually as a fast-moving slit, as contrasted with a bladed/leaf shutter located near a nodal point of a lens. [12] FPA: Focal plane array. A matrix of sensors positioned in the focal plane of a lens or other focusing device. [12] FPS: Frames per second. Used in reference to ...

  6. Exposure value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_value

    The set EV could be locked, coupling shutter and aperture settings, such that adjusting either the shutter speed or aperture made a corresponding adjustment in the other to maintain a constant exposure (Ray 2000, 318). On some lenses the locking was optional, so that the photographer could choose the preferred method of working depending on the ...

  7. Aperture priority - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperture_priority

    A Nikon-style mode dial showing aperture priority mode.. Aperture priority, often abbreviated A or Av (for aperture value) on a camera mode dial, is a mode on some cameras that allows the user to set a specific aperture value while the camera selects a shutter speed to match it that will result in proper exposure based on the lighting conditions as measured by the camera's light meter.

  8. Selenium meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenium_meter

    This type of window helps to bundle the light coming from the direction in which the photo cell is pointed. The mechanical part of a selenium meter is an analog calculator which accepts exposure value and film speed as input parameters for showing the possible aperture and shutter-speed combinations for correct exposure.

  9. Nikon FG - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_FG

    Nikon FG exposure mode and shutter speed dial The FG's metering system is controlled by a micro-computer which measures center-weighted brightness, using a sensitive silicon photodiode (SPD) sensor. The metering system performs 'instant stop down metering', where the meter reading is taken after the lens is stopped down but before the mirror ...
