Aperture is the adjustable lens opening that controls how much light reaches the sensor and how deep the zone of sharp focus appears in a photograph.
Exposure bracketing is the technique of shooting a series of frames at different exposures so that at least one, or a blend of them, renders the…
Exposure compensation in photography deliberately shifts the camera's automatic exposure brighter or darker, in stops, when the meter misjudges a scene.
The exposure triangle is the model in photography that links aperture, shutter speed and ISO, showing how each one trades brightness for a visible side effect.
Exposure value is a single number that represents every combination of aperture and shutter speed giving the same exposure in photography.
ISO in photography sets how strongly a camera amplifies the sensor signal, trading brighter images for more visible noise and less dynamic range.
Shutter speed in photography is the length of time the sensor gathers light, controlling exposure brightness, motion blur and camera shake.
Spot metering measures light from a small area of the frame, usually a few percent, so the photographer sets exposure for one precise subject or tone.
