Shooting postures
A correct posture for stabilizing the camera is necessary for taking a
good photo. Even if you hold a camera correctly, the wrong posture
can cause the camera to shake. Stand up straight and remain still to
maintain a steady base for your camera. When shooting with a low
shutter speed, hold your breath to minimize body movement.
Compose your shot; stand up straight with your feet shoulder-length
apart, and keep your elbows pointed down.
Hold the camera with your right hand and place you right index finger
on the shutter button. Place your left hand under the lens for support.

Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close
the shutter, and it is an important factor inthe brightness of a photo, as
it controis the amount of light which passes through the aperture before
it reaches the image sensor.

ISO sensitivity
The exposure of an image is determined by the sensitivity of the
camera. This sensitivity is based on international film standards, known
as ISO standards. On digital cameras, this sensitivity rating is used
to represent the sensitivity of the digita! mechanism that captures the
image.

How the aperture setting, shutter speed,
and ISO sensitivity control exposure
The aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity are closely
interconnected in photography. The aperture setting controls the
opening that regulates the light that enters the camera, while the shutter
speed determines the length of time that light is allowed to enter.
ISO sensitivity determines the speed at which the film reacts to light.
Together, these three aspects are described as the triangle of exposure.
A change in shutter speed, aperture value, or ISO sensitivity can be
offset by adjustments to the others to maintain the amount of light.
The results, however, change according to the settings. For example,
shutter speed is useful in expressing movement, aperture can control
the depth of field, and ISO sensitivity can control the graininess of a
photo.
Wide = small depth of field
Narrow = large depth of field
Fast = still
Slow = blurt/

High sensitivity
= more sensitive to light
Low sensitivity
= less sensitive to light
Aperture
Wide aperture
= more light
Narrow aperture
= less light
High = more grainy
Low = less grainy

Correlation between focal length, angle, Long focal ler
and perspective
Focal length, which is measured in millimeters, is the distance between
the middie of the lens to its focal point, it affects the angle and
perspective of captured images. A short focal length translates into a
wide angle, which allows you to capture a wide shot. A long focal length
translates into a narrow angle, which allows you to capture telephoto
shots. telephoto shot
