Shutter speed controls exposure and motion, freezing action with fast speeds or creating blur with slow speeds. Learn the two-curtain mechanism, stops of light, and practical exposure triangle tips.
Master the camera modes to control exposure: choose aperture priority for scenarios, adjust ISO, and let the camera handle shutter speed, while understanding when to use program or manual modes.
Learn how exposure compensation corrects the camera's 18 percent grey meter reading. Use aperture priority or shutter priority to brighten or darken scenes, and reset exposure to zero.
