Y ou can tilt the display up to 90° upwar ds ( ) or 45° downwar ds ( ). • Keep the display closed ( ) when the camer[...]

16 Concepts in Photog raphy Low -angle shot A low-angle shot is a shot from a camera positioned belo w your eyeline , looking up the subjec t. High-angle shot A high-angle shot is a shot from a camera positioned abo ve your eyeline , looking down on the subject.[...]

17 Concepts in Photog raphy Aper ture The aperture is one of the three factors that determine the exposure . The aper ture housing contains thin, metal plat es that open and close to let light through the aperture and into the camera. The size of the aperture is related to the amount of light: a lar ger aper ture allow s more light and a smaller ap[...]

18 Concepts in Photog raphy Aper ture value and the depth of eld Y ou can blur or sharpen the background of a photo by changing the size of the aper ture . A large aperture gives your photos a shallo w depth of eld (DOF). Objects immediately in front of or behind your subject will be blurred, while the subject will be in focus . A small aper [...]

19 Concepts in Photog raphy Shutter speed Shutter speed ref ers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter . It controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture before it r eaches the image sensor . Shutter speeds are measur ed in seconds and parts of a second. On many cameras , the shutter speeds are appro ximately [...]

20 Concepts in Photog raphy ISO sensitivity The exposure of an image is determined b y the sensitivity of the camera. This sensitivity is based on international lm standards , known as ISO standards.

21 Concepts in Photog raphy How the aper ture setting , shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity control exposur e The aperture setting, shutter speed , and ISO sensitivity are closely interconnected in photog raphy . The aperture setting controls the opening that regulates the light that enters the camer a, while the shutter speed determines the length [...]

22 Concepts in Photog raphy Corr elation between f ocal length, angle, and perspective F ocal length, which is measured in millimeters , is the distance between the middle of the lens to its focal point. It aects the angle and perspective of captured images. A short focal length translates int o a wide angle, which allows you t o capture a wide [...]

23 Concepts in Photog raphy Depth of eld The depth of eld (DOF) is the focused ar ea around the subject. In general, the DOF can be shallow or deep . In photos with a shallow DOF , the subject is sharply focused, the backgr ound is blurred and the subject stands out. In contrast, photos with a deep DOF hav e all the elements of the photo in s[...]

24 Concepts in Photog raphy DOF depends on focal length The longer the focal length, the shallo wer the DOF . A telescopic lens with a longer focal length will captur e a photo with a shallow DOF better than a lens with a shorter focal length. A photo captured with an 16 mm wide-angle lens A photo captured with a 100 mm telescope lens DOF depends o[...]

T he camera adjusts the aper ture to the predened settings and shows the r esults on the screen. Set the function of the Pr eview button to Optical Pr eview .

26 Concepts in Photog raphy Using the rule of thirds will cr eate photos with stable and compelling compositions. Belo w are a few examples . Photos with two subjects If your subject is in one corner of the photo, it cr eates an unbalanced composition. Y ou can stabilize the photo b y capturing a second subject in the opposite corner to balanc e th[...]

Making use of a ash allows you t o compensate for the lack of light and cr eate a variety of eects. The ash, also known as a strobe or speed light, pro vides adequate expos[...]

28 Concepts in Photog raphy Bounce Photogr aphy Bounce photograph y refers t o the method of bouncing light o of the ceiling or walls so that the light spreads ev enly over the subject.
