When you open up your aperture or change your shutter speed by one full stop you are changing the exposure by?

100%............If for example 1/30 of a second at f5.6 is equal to the correct exposure.
By increasing the shutter speed by 100% to 1/60 of a second and leaving the aperture at f5.6 would underexpose the picture by one full stop. To correct this you would have to adjust your aperture by one stop to f4. The exposure in both pictures would be correct. However, the depth of field would be different, and anything in that was in motion would likely have less motion blur as well (provided the speed and direction was the same during both exposures).

If you are changing the shutter speed why is the depth of field being affected?
Usually, one would change the aperture to compensate for the change in shutter speed in order to keep the level of exposure the same. Changing the aperture affects the depth of field.
What happens when you open up the lens aperture but do not change the shutter speed?
You will increase the film exposure compared to what the on board light meter is suggesting. This is known as over exposure, but that is a relative term. "Over exposure" is not necessarily a bad thing.
Will changing the camera's f-stop will not change the camera's shutter speed?
If the camera is in an automatic or programmed mode, yes, the shutter speed will be changed by the on-board metering system if the aperture is changed. If it's in a manual mode, no.
What happens when you close down the lens decrease the lens opening and do not change the shutter speed?
Underexposure without a change of lighting corresponding to your aperture.
How do you change the shutter speed and aperture on a canon digital ixus 85 IS camera?
You can set the Long Shutter speed. In Manual mode, select ±0 then Disp. You can scroll between 1" and 15". I think 1"3 means 1.3 seconds.
Why is aperture important?
Apertures perform two functions. First is to control the amount of light entering the camera through the lens. Each aperture setting has an f number i.e.; f5.6, f8 etc.. The second function of apertures to to control depth of field - the amount of sharpness in front of and behind the subject focused upon. The smaller the aperture the less sharpness in front and behind the subject becomes. A larger aperture gives a greater amount of sharpness. The f numbers come from dividing the diameter of the hole in the diaphram into the focal length of the lens. F8 hole size divides approx. 8 times into the focal length. Each aperture is equal to half or double the value of the other. In other words from F8 to F16 reduces the amount of light by half and from F8 to F5.6 increases the amount by twice. To keep the ratio of light falling onto the focal plane after setting the aperture you need to change the shutter speed to get proper exposure. Like apertures shutter speeds that stop movement have the same values when changing form one to another. Moving from 1/125th sec to 1/250 halves the light and changing from 1/60th to 1/30th doubles it. This is why apertures and shutter speeds work together. The choice of which would be governed by the subject in hand.
Will changing the camera's f-stop change the camera's shutter speed?
It depends on the camera setting.Many cameras have a setting A or Av that lets you change the f-stop and the camera will change the shutter speed automatically.The manual setting (often M) will not change the shutter speed, on manual you are left to your own devices.See related link for an overview of common settings.
How do photographers approach their art and develop skills?
It would be useful to know at what level of photography you are at but here goes. The first thing to do is get to know how your camera works; Aperture, shutter and ISO The aperture allows light to the film or digital plane; the shutter controls the amount of time that the light is allowed to stay on the plane and the ISO is a rating in relation to the overall amount of light available. A camera is a light-tight box so control of the light is the most important factor. When you get to know your camera you will find it has a built in light meter; this meter is effected by the aperture, shutter and ISO rating, try changing each one at a time while looking through the lens and see how this alters the light-meter reading. The light meter gives you an EV, (exposure value) when you have an exposure value you are ready to take a picture, well almost; You now have to apply the EV to get the required result in your picture. Example: You have an EV of say 250th of a second shutter and an aperture of say f2.8 (called f-stops) and your ISO is 100. The shutter speed is fast and would ensure motion would be stopped clearly; the aperture is open at a large opening, (small f no), so no great depth of field, only the part actually focused on would be in the zone of good focus; and the ISO would give you a good size print before loosing quality: But, if you wanted everything in your picture you would need to have a small aperture or large f no, say f16. This would give you a sharper pic. How ever if you change one of the settings, to keep the EV you have to also one of the other settings, ISO or shutter. To keep the quality you would change the shutter; now, to change from Aperture f2.8 to f16 we are cutting down the amount of light entering through the lens by 5 stops so we have to compensate by allowing 5 times the length of time the light stays on the plane; we do this by changing the shutter from 250th of a second to 8th of a second, (you need a tripod here as handheld is not recommended) and provided the overall quality of light has remained the same, we have kept the metered EV and depending on our composition we either have a picture or not. But the EV is the most important factor in relation to photography. Unfortunately is is also the least explained in photography manuals. After this all that is required is lots of practice and self criticism on the results. Get to study a photographer whose work you like and want to emulate. Learn the rule of intersections, composition, light, and lens. And learn to pre-visualise the result you want; apply the EV to give you that result and who knows?
How do you focus a digital SLR camera?
Start by powering on the camera and ensuring you have enough light around. Next, adjust the image mode to different modes such as Portrait, Landscape, Closeup or Sports depending on what you need. Now, adjust the aperture to decide the amount of light to reach. The aperture settings are marked by the letter F and a series of numbers. The smaller the 'F' can be the wider the aperture is. The larger the "F" number is the more focus you will have. Finally, check the shutter speed. In most cases, the shutter speed can change when the aperture is adjusted. Faster speeds give more precise and sharper action shots. Finally, its time to capture the photo.
What is the best setting for the canon SX30 and I need to know the specific settings like do I put it on P or M and then what aperture or shutter speed is best?
It all depends on the light levels as it will constantly change, it's all physics
Why when you adjust the shutter speed the apiture doesnt change?
there are a number of reasons for this: you are in full manual mode, you are at the limit of the aperture at one end ore the other and it can be opened or closed no further, the camera may be broken. there are likely others.
Can you slow the shutter speed on a canon powershot a3000 is?
Yes. To do this, you have to change the mode in SCN. Then, select the long shutter effect ( press the right button or the flash button ). it is located at the last. then, to change the shutter speed, press the up button or the exposure button. to adjust the speed, just press the left or right button. the shutter speed goes from 1-15 seconds only. I hope this is the answer to your question. Excuse me for my explanation coz I am not really good at it.
