Aperture

Aperture is the diameter of the lens. The larger the diameter of the aperture, the more light reaches the image sensor. The aperture is usually shown in numbers. There is maximum aperture which  shows the maximum aperture, aperture range which shows you the maximum and minimum aperture and maximum wide angle which gives you the maximum aperture wide angle.

Shutter Speed

Shutter speed is measured in seconds. Shutter speed is the length of time that your image sensor ‘sees’ the scene you’re attempting to capture. If you speed up the shutter speed you’ll need to increase Aperture or make the ISO faster to compensate for it.

Focus Point

The focus point of the lens is where all the light is reflected from an object is in focus. This is also called the image point.

Focal Length

This is a measurement which indicates the  angle of view of a specific combination of camera lens and film or sensor size. It is a  measure of how strongly it focuses.When a photographic lens is set to “infinity”, its rear nodal point is separated from the sensor or film, at the focal point, by the lens’s focal length. Objects far away from the camera then produce sharp images on the sensor or film, which is also at the image plane. Photographers sometimes refer to the image plane as the focal plane; these planes coincide when the object is at infinity, but for closer objects the focal plane is fixed, relative to the lens, and the image plane moves, by the standard optical definitions.

ISO

ISO is the abbreviation for International Organization of Standardization. The letters ISO on your camera settings refer to the film speed. This is an archive file also known as a disc image which allows you to save to an extension file.

Digital Manipulation

Digital manipulation for example is photoshop techniques such as cropping, colour correction, lassos and clone stamps. Digital manipulation gives you the opportunity to change your pictures therefore giving you the potential to create an illusion. You can make things black and white, sepia and negative. You can mix and match pictures and change shapes.
