Shutter [shutter]
The Shutter is the part of your camera that opens and closes to allow light onto the
sensor or film. In the closed position no light is allowed into the light sensitive part of
your camera. In the open position light is allowed through to expose the image. The
image varies greatly depending on how long the shutter remains open.
Shutter speed refers to the specific length of time that the shutter remains open, allowing more or less light into the camera. A longer shutter speed allows more light for
low light conditions while a faster speed requires more ambient light such as bright
sunlight or strong external lights or a flash.

Aperture
[aperture]
The word Aperture is derived from the Latin : Apertura, which can be translated
roughly as opening or window. In optics, an aperture is a hole or an opening through
which light travels. The aperture of an optical system is the opening that determines
the cone angle of a bundle of rays that come to a focus in the image plane.
Depth of Field
The aperture determines how collimated the admitted rays are, which is of
great importance for the appearance at the image plane. If an aperture is narrow, then highly collimated rays are admitted, resulting in a sharp focus at
the image plane. If an aperture is wide, then uncollimated rays are admitted,
resulting in a sharp focus only for rays with a certain focal length. This means
that a wide aperture results in an image that is sharp around what the lens is
focusing on and blurred other wise. This anomolly is known as:
Depth of Field.
Using the F 8 Aperture setting we can follow the depth of f ield chart on the lens to
see how much of our image at a given focal point will be in focus. In this case
focused to just beyond 1.9 meters, our image will remain in focus between 1.5
meters and 2.5 meters. Thus with this setting the same image to the lef t will now
look different because the boys in the far yard are beyond the focal range of this
setting rendering them out of focus in our image below. The fence and the boy, however, remain within the focal range of this setting thus we see them in focus.
The F-stop like the Pupil of the Human Eye, is determined by the size of the opening created by
the Iris. The smaller the pupil the greater the D.O.F. In optics, the f-stop (sometimes called focal ratio) of an optical system expresses the diameter of the entrance pupil in terms of the focal
length of the lens; in simpler terms, the f-stop is the focal length divided by the effective aperture diameter. It is a dimensionless number that is a quantitative measure of lens speed. In optics, the circle of confusion is an optical spot caused by a cone of light rays from a lens not coming
to a perfect focus when imaging a point source. For most people Visual acuity at the closest comfortable viewing distance, termed the near distance for distinct vision , is approximately 25 cm.
At this distance, a person with good vision can usually distinguish an image resolution of 5 line
pairs per millimeter.
The Format size refers directly to the size and shape dimensions of the light sensitive focal plane.
In the human eye this would be the retina. In a 35mm f ilm camera these dimensions are set by
size of the shutter opening and the f ilm dimensions. In a digital camera the Format size refers to
the image sensor or CCD chip. Today, most digital still cameras use either a CCD image sensor or
a CMOS sensor. Both types of sensors accomplish the same task of capturing light and converting
it into electrical signals.The aperture also determines how many of the incoming rays are actually
admitted and thus how much light reaches the image plane (the narrower the aperture, the darker the image for a given exposure time).
I.S.O.
In traditional f ilm photog raphy I.S.O. (or ASA) refers to the sensitivity of a
given f ilms emulsion to light. In Digital Photog raphy I.S.O. refers to a given
range of sensitivity of the image sensor to light.
