Hello everyone,
I've been trying out the different settings and experimenting in manual on my camera - wow it's hard!
I was just wondering if someone could kindly answer a couple of questions?
Firstly, even after researching the different settings I'm struggling to figure out what they all mean and how they affect the shot.
The only three I think I know are:
Aperture - how much of the shot is in focus. The lower the number the closer the object must be
ISO - how much light is let in to the shot. The higher the number the brighter the shot
Shutter speed - how fast the camera takes the picture. The further left you scroll, the slower it is, and the slower it is the more you need a tripod
I'm not even certain these are right - are they?
The other ones are just a foreign language to me. I would really really appreciate it if someone could please explain in simple terms what the following settings are and how they affect the shot.
Exposure comp./AEB setting
Flash Exposure comp
Picture style
White balance
Auto lighting optimiser
Metering mode
Thanks a lot everyone - speak soon.
P.S. Do Aperture and Shutter speed affect light? I was experimenting last night and whenever I went for the full focus F22 aperture or the 1/4000 shutter speed, it was just a black screen. Granted, the light in my house at 2230 isn't great but when I lowered both settings it was fine.
