Aperture, Shutterspeed, ISO
f 2.8
f 16
APERTURE
1. Pupil
2.The smaller the aperture, the larger the f-stop. The larger the aperture, the smaller the f-stop.
3. A larger aperture will bring all foreground objects to focus while blurring the background. A smaller aperture will allow all planes in an image to be sharp and in focus.
High shutter speed
Slow shutter speed
SHUTTERSPEED
1. a. 1/125
b. 1/200
c. 1/500
d. 1/500
e. 1/400
f. 1/640
2. a. 1/30
b. 1/30
c. 1/640
d. 1/125
e. 1/150
f. 1/250
Aperture Priority: If you set the aperture, the camera will set the shutter speed automatically.
Shutter Priority: If you set the shutter speed, the camera will automatically set the aperture accordingly.
Manual: You can set the shutter speed and aperture however you want.
ISO 200
ISO 6400
ISO
1. It would be good to use a high ISO at sporting events or a nighttime football game because the higher the ISO the less time is needed to capture an image. You can use higher shutter speeds, and are therefore more able to freeze and capture a fast paced moment.
2. You should use low ISO when there is plenty of light or in low light when you are exposing for a long time.
3. You should use a higher ISO when there is not enough light to take an image fast enough. Or when you are indoors without flash.
VIRTUAL DSLR
Aperture: The aperture options range from f/2.8-f/22
Shutterspeed: The shutter speed options range from 1 sec to 1/4000 sec.
ISO: The ISO ranges from ISO 100- ISO 25,600.

File Formats
1. PNG, RAW, and JPEG
2. Vector formats use a geometric description to be rendered smoothly while raster image formats describe each individual pixel.
~
1. .jpeg=lossy .tiff=can be both .psd=lossless .nef=lossless
2. .jpeg= used for online or web based publications .tiff= better for print/preserves layers from editing .psd= good for editing in Photoshop/preserves all changes made to file from photoshop .nef=highest level of quality/ used in photojournalism
3. .jpeg= yes .psd=no .tiff= no .nef=yes

Lossy vs Lossless
Three advantages of a RAW file: 1. Processed in computer, not camera. 2. Easier to manipulate properly. 3. Better richness, sharpness, and color range.
One RAW disadvantage: 1. Not suitable for printing directly from camera.
Three advantages of JPEG file: 1. Suitable for sharing or printing directly from camera. 2. Take less space/memory. 3. Readable by any image program.
One JPEG disadvantage: 1. Some color is lost when storing the file.
1. All data is retained.
2. Whitebalance, contrast, highlights, shadows, colors, and saturation.
3. RAWs are significantly larger than JPEGs, not all DSLRs have the RAW shooting capability, RAW's can be converted to JPEGs, but not the other way around.
4. An aspiring photographer needs to know how to work with RAW files because editing photos is a very important part of professional and studio photography. Many photographers edit more than they shoot and RAW files open more possibilities with editing that JPEGs.
