    These three settings form the exposure triangle. Each one controls how much light reaches your camera sensor, but they also have creative side effects. Aperture affects depth of field, shutter speed controls motion blur, and ISO influences image noise. Adjusting one means you typically need to compensate with one or both of the others to keep your exposure balanced. The cheat sheets walk you through exactly how this works, and you can also try dialing in your exposure settings with our free tool.
