Write your name after selecting the camera setting, so that everyone does not choose the same;

Aperture
Andrea Jaramillo
Aperture refers to the opening of a lens's diaphragm through which light passes. It is calibrated in f/stops and is generally written as numbers such as 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11 and 16. The lower f/stops give more exposure because they represent the larger apertures, while the higher f/stops give less exposure because they represent smaller apertures.


Shutter Speed
Anastasiia Komarova. Shutter speed is the length of time when the camera is exposed to the light.


ISO
Anastasiia Komarova. ISO is a sensitivity of the image sensor.

CMOS Sensor


Wide Angle
Cheyanne Faulkner- A wide angle lens makes it possible to photograph a smaller scene, as well as to create a close to subject perspective.

Normal Lense


Telephotolens
Olivia Gambelin
 Telephoto lens is a specific type of along-focus lens in which the physical length of the lens is shorter than the focal length. Two of the most common uses of the telephoto lens is  to put backgrounds out of focus and to change the perspective of the picture.

the right lens for portraits

The right lens for a portrait depends on what you wish to convey in the portrait. Typically, portraits for weddings and other events, photographers use long telephoto lens, such as 70mm-200mm. This allows for the photographer to isolate the subject(s) and only give minor details of the background. But great portraits using bokeh can also be achieved using a short fixed lens with a wide aperture, like f/1.8. However, if the background or environment is essential the the essence of the subject, then a wide lens would be useful.

different setting of the light meter of the camera


different setting of the shutter
Najla: if taking a picture of a moving object with a fast shutter speed, the picture will come out focused and clear. if the speed is low, the picture will come out more blurry because of the motion.
