Shutter speed, ISO and F-Stop make up the three sides. If one changes, at least one other must also change to compensate. (Sorry if you've heard this analogy before.) So if you use a higher F-Stop, you need to use a faster shutter speed and a lower ISO or vice versa otherwise you'll have over/underexposure. <br /><br />It's complicated and I look forward to the day when I can just look at a potential shot and KNOW what setting to use.CaraBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614627167922944626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367581551556551352.post-55377680705028432612010-04-11T20:25:03.329-05:002010-04-11T20:25:03.329-05:00(the shutter is actually smaller on a higher numbe...(the shutter is actually smaller on a higher number F-stop) - actually it's the aperture. The opening in the diaphragm that allows light through to the sensor is called the Aperture - and a higher f-stop number is a smaller opening - or aperture. Smaller opening = less light = lower shutter speed. Lower shutter speed means the shutter stays open longer.<br /><br />Ain't it cool?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024392628362568010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3367581551556551352.post-60127954731381076952010-04-11T19:40:54.530-05:002010-04-11T19:40:54.530-05:00You are fancy-schmancy with all your f-stoppin'...You are fancy-schmancy with all your f-stoppin' spotlightin' lingo.
