Thtas great under dog nice to know someone else with the same camera! What lens' do you have ?:)

It came with Cannon 75-300 and a 28(think)-55. Just AF. I don't understand it fully, as in apertures and the likes. Other than giving depth of field etc. I like messing in P setting but wish I could turn the pheriferal focus points off in the auto settings.

I really really like the Cannon 100D though!

Lots to learn but good fun.

Sounds good mate.

 

Aperture controls the depth of field and is a part of what is known as the exposure triangle: ISO-SHUTTER SPEED-APERTURE (small the f number the wider the aperture ) think of shot size- small number big shot :)

 

In order to get the correct exposure you alter all three off the exposure triangle.

 

For example, in a well lit environment with the sun shining you want to take a picture of a flower with a blurry back ground (set the widest aperture= shallow depth of field) however as a result of the wide aperture lots of light can flood through so to compensate for the extra light you turn the shutter speed up to say 1/500 second to reduce the amount of time light can enter. When the metering level is in the middle ... correct exposure.

 

Iso I don't change much but remember it's the sensors sensitivity to light; low iso less sensitivity (good in bright conditions) high iso good in darker conditions.

Just remember an increase in iso will or can result in an increase in picture noise.

 

 

Hope this has helped a bit underdog.
