Exposure

Also known as exposure triangle. Category: Lighting and optics

Exposure is the amount of light recorded by the camera sensor for an image. It is controlled by aperture, shutter speed and ISO sensitivity, and in the studio by the output of the lights; a correct exposure keeps highlights and shadows within the sensor's range.

How PhotoRobot uses it

Capture PI Advisor in PhotoRobot Controls evaluates exposure balance, highlight clipping and shadow density and suggests changes to aperture, shutter speed, ISO or light intensity.

  • Aperture: The adjustable lens opening, given as an f-number; smaller openings give more depth of field.
  • Shutter speed: How long the camera shutter stays open; with flash, the flash duration usually freezes the motion instead.
  • ISO sensitivity: The camera's sensitivity setting; low ISO gives the cleanest images and widest dynamic range.
  • Highlight clipping: Overexposed areas that are recorded as pure white and have lost all detail.
  • Histogram: A graph of how many pixels in an image have each brightness value.
