Exposure is the combination of shutter speed and aperture used to expose the image sensor in a digital camera.

When the image sensor receives the right amount of light, your picture comes out correctly exposed.

The camera's light meter determines how big to open the aperture (the hole to allow light in) and for how long (the shutter speed).

If the image sensor receives less light than it requires, your picture comes out under-exposed.

If the image sensor receives more light than it requires, your picture comes out over-exposed.

In a traditional camera there were shutter priority, aperture priority and maybe program mode.

In digital cameras there can be an almost endless list of modes. Automatic mode, manual mode, macro mode, portrait mode, night mode, indoor mode, snow mode, stitch assist mode and the list goes on and on.

Exposure is the amount of light that you allow to enter the camera and hit the image collecting area, such as film or image sensor.
