Aperture, shutter and ISO value
With this camera simulator you can try different aperture and shutters to affect a photos light, depth and motion blur. Try also to change the camera’s light sensitivity by manipulating its ISO value. A higher ISO value gives higher sensitivity to light, which allows faster shutter speeds. The disadvantage is that the picture is more grainy.

Aperture
The Aperture function is to regulate the amount of light admitted through the lens. The larger the aperture opening, the more light comes through.
How the aperture is set also affects the image depth. If the aperture is large (low aperture value) the light transmission will be height and the depth of focus short. Which means that when the aperture is small (high aperture value) the light transmission will be small and the depth of focus far.
To see how this looks, you can click in the box “link aperture/shutter” and pull the aperture control. Note how the background depth of focus change.
Shutter
The camera’s shutter regulates image exposure. The longer the shutter is open, the more light get through. When shooting, it is important to find the right balance between the shutter and aperture value.
A short shutter mostly requires a lower aperture value. The shutter also affects the image motion blur if you shoot a subject on the move. A long shutter time results in a motion blur while a short time becomes sharper as the subject will not have time to move as much.
ISO
ISO is short for International Organization for Standardization and tells the camera’s light sensitivity. In analogue cameras with film is the film’s luminous display.
A high ISO value makes the camera more light sensitive so you can shoot with quick/short shutter speeds in a dark environment. The disadvantage of a high ISO value is that the picture is more grainy.
Light meter
Most SLR cameras has a built-in light meter. The light meter shows how the image exposure values are set.

nice information for me.
This is amazing i love it! i got extra credit for showing my teacher this website. so instead of having an D i now have and B.. YAHHH!!!
This is terrific. It would be even better if we had a number of examples so we can see the effect over a range of images, including close ups, items where the focus is further away, etc. It is excellent though and very useful.

thank you so much for sharing this, it will be really helpful for us newbies in understanding more about shutter speed, aperture and iso. although it would be interesting to find out too if there was a f2.8 and below aperture opening. but all in all its a great tool
Wow, I have just discovered this via a forum post of talkphotograhy.co.uk and what an amazing tool. I am a beginner in amateur photography, a hobbiest you could say, and this tool has just help me understand a lot of the information I have been reading on the the subject but actually allowing a quick and easy what to show the impacts of changing various camera settings.
Great job, thanks.
Thats what we like to call…trippin balls
This is a great resource for new photographers on my yearbook staff.
Very cool. I am having the hardest time getting these values straight in my head and how they intersect to make a decent exposure — and this is helpful. This should be an iphone app.
This would be much more useful if the aperture went wider than f/4 and if you could vary the point of focus to see the effect of DoF at different distances.
Sooooo coooool.
That’s what i’m talking about.
Oh man, i’m into it right now.
