WHY LEARN TO SHOOT IN MANUAL (M) MODE?
While shooting in Manual (M) Mode, you will have to control all 3 aspects of the exposure triangle: ISO, Shutter & Aperture, and make sure that they are all properly balanced to give you a correct exposure.
Remember:
While shooting in Manual (M) Mode, you will have to control all 3 aspects of the exposure triangle: ISO, Shutter & Aperture, and make sure that they are all properly balanced to give you a correct exposure.
Remember:
- ISO controls your camera's sensitivity to light and image quality (noise)
- Shutter speed controls your exposure and how you capture motion
- Aperture controls your exposure and depth of field
WHAT DOES 'EXPOSURE' REFER TO?
In photography, exposure is the amount of light per unit area (the image plane illuminance times the exposure time) reaching a photographic film or electronic image sensor, as determined by shutter speed, lens aperture and scene luminance.
When there is too little light, then the photo is underexposed. When there is too much light, then it is overexposed. As a photographer, your aim to take photos that are perfectly, or correctly exposed.
