23. 23. CAMERAS - THE BASICS WTF IS F-STOP? f-stop is the ratio between the focal length of the lens and the size of the opening in front of the focal plane that lets light in. f/2 = 1:2 or 1/2 of the area of the lens dedicated to light transmission.
24. 24. CAMERAS - THE BASICS WTF IS ISO? ISO also known as lm speed is the sensitivity of the photographic medium. There is a trade of, more sensitivity is better for faster shutter speeds and low light or small apertures, but you get more grain. Low ISO is good for wide apertures and lots of light, or slower shutter speeds.
