Lesson 2 - ISO/ASA, Contrast, F.stops, White Balance/Colour Temperature.

ISO, ASA ( Film Speed, Film Sensitivity - How fast is able to record light / Strength of record light data. )

                                    Pixel / Quality                                                Contrast
                                                                                               (Sharpness of Colour/ Dull)
Auto                  
100         Slow       Very fine pixel, good for enlargement                   Low  
200                    
400       Medium    Fine, good for enlargement                                 Medium
800
1600       High        Digital noise, not good for enlargement               High

( Higher ISO, Stronger Strength. More grains/ noise )


Continue>>          Light Condition
                           
                         Good for bright light

                        Good for cloudy/shady places

                      Good for dark places: eg- Indoor + Stadium

Shutter speed
1/10    
1/50
1/100                - The speed of curtain open & close. The speed of allowing light to enter the sensor.
1/500                 ( 1/10 - Slow movement, which more light is entering. 1/1000 - Fast movement.)
etc

Aperture 
1.0
5.4/5.,6          - Diameter of Iris hole, which is the size that allowing light go into the camera.
etc.                   ( Larger number, Smaller diameter size.)

F. stops:
100
 1f
200                         ISO 100 to 1600 =  4 f
 1f
400                         ISO 200 to 800 = 2f
 1f
800
 1f
1600
