Hey, I'm an amateur photographer and I was just wondering if anyone more experienced than I am can tell me what these things mean.
Shutter Speed: 1/251 second
Aperture: F/2.8
Focal Length: 6 mm
ISO Speed: 80
Sensor Size: 4mm
I've taken these numbers from what my camera does.
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
1)Shutter speed is how fast the shutter can go, in this case its 1/251th of a second
2)Aperture, AKA F/Stop is how wide the aperture can open, the smaller the number, the wider the F/stop
3)Focal length is how far it can zoom
4)ISO Speed is the film speed. Yes, even in digital cameras its called "Film Speed." A slow film speed will allow you to shoot in a darker area, because less light is needed, but the image will appear more grainy, where as a fast ISO will force you to shoot in a lighter area because it needs more light, but it will be very clear and smooth.
*There is a reason for this, but its a long story. if you're interested let me know!*
