Concepts in Photography
Standing photography
Compose your shot; stand up straight with your feet shoulder-length 
apart, and keep your elbows pointed down.
Shooting postures
A correct posture for stabilizing the camera is necessary for taking a good 
photo. Even if you hold a camera correctly, the wrong posture can cause 
the camera to shake. Stand up straight and remain still to maintain a 
steady base for your camera. When shooting with a low shutter speed, 
hold your breath to minimize body...

Crouching photography
Compose your shot, crouch with one knee touching the ground, and keep 
a straight posture.
Using the display
To take photos at high or low angles, tilt the display up or down. You can 
tilt the display up to 90° upwards (
) or 45° downwards ().
• Keep the display closed () when the camera is not in use.
• Tilt the display only within the angle allowed. Failing to do so may 
damage your camera.

Low-angle shot
A low-angle shot is a shot from a camera positioned below your eyeline, 
looking up the subject.
High-angle shot
A high-angle shot is a shot from a camera positioned above your eyeline, 
looking down on the subject.

Aperture
The aperture, a hole that controls the amount of light that enters the 
camera, is one of the three factors that determine the exposure. The 
aperture housing contains thin, metal plates that open and close to let 
light through the aperture and into the camera. The size of the aperture 
is closely related to the brightness of a photo: the larger the aperture, the 
brighter the photo; the smaller the aperture, the darker the photo.

Aperture value and the depth of field
You can blur or sharpen the background of a photo by controlling the 
aperture. It is closely related to the depth of field (DOF), which can be 
expressed as small or large.

The aperture housing contains several blades. These blades move together and 
control the amount of light passing through the center of the aperture. The 
number of blades also affects the shape of light when shooting...

Shutter speed
Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the 
shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as it 
controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture before it 
reaches the image sensor.
Usually, the shutter speed is manually adjustable. The measurement of the 
shutter speed is known as the “Exposure Value” (EV ), which is marked in 
intervals of 1 s, 1/2 s, 1/4 s, 1/8 s, 1/15 s, 1/1000 s, 1/2000 s,...

ISO sensitivity
The exposure of an image is determined by the sensitivity of the camera. 
This sensitivity is based on international film standards, known as ISO 
standards. On digital cameras, this sensitivity rating is used to represent 
the sensitivity of the digital mechanism that captures the image.
ISO sensitivity doubles as the number doubles. For example, an  
ISO 200 setting is capable of capturing images at twice the speed of an 
ISO 100 setting. However, higher ISO...
