Equivalent Exposure & the Exposure Triangle (this is the title of your blog post)
The 3 camera settings that comprise the Exposure Triangle are _aperture__, __shutter speed_ & _ISO.
On the back monitor of our Nikon D3400 cameras, the aperture setting is displayed by _the circle that is second to the left__ (1st, 2nd or 3rd from the left). Apertures (from smallest openings to largest openings) are typically numbers f1.4 ,f2.8 , f4, f5.6, f8, f11, f16
The shutter speed settings are shown on the _third circle from the left on the back monitor. Expressed as fractions_of a second, the shortest or highest shutter speed on our cameras are 1/4000seconds and the longest or slowest shutter speed is 30 seconds.
The third setting ISO controls the camera’s sensitivity to light. This setting goes from 100 to maximum on our cameras.
To set the ISO on our cameras, we hold down the ISO button an rotate the command dial. Set the iso to 400. Then set the aperture to f5.6, by holding down the #4 button on the top of the camera and rotating the Command dial.
