Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO :

- ISO refers to the sensitivity of the film to light. Each film will need a certain amount of light to give proper exposure.The ISO is used to determine shutter speed and aperture settings. Shutter speed is a measure of how long the shutter is open. It is measured in fractions of a second. Aperture is a measure of how large the opening is in the shutter. The larger the number, the smaller the opening.
