What Are the Three Exposure Settings?

The Exposure Triangle

Aperture Shutter Speed ISO Exposure
  • Aperture: how much light comes through the lens at one time.
  • Shutter speed: how long the light is let in.
  • ISO: how much light you need.
  • Three controls. One balance. Change one, and something else may need to change to make up for it.
