- Slow shutter speed creates a blurry picture of a subject in motion

- Example: If I'm taking a picture of my sister running around I want to have fast shutter speed to capture her in motion. And if I want to a picture of blurry picture of my sister then I need to set the camera to have a slow shutter speed.
- Aperture
- Low aperture sizes (low f-stops) allow more lights in which result in brighter pictures and create shallow depth of field effect.
- High aperture sizes (high f-stops) allow less lights in which result in darker pictures and create full depth of field effect.
- Example: If I'm taking a close up picture of my sister's face I need to make sure the camera has a low f-stop number, And if I want a clear picture of her and the beach in the background then I simply need to set the camera to high f-stop numbers.

- Low ISO numbers create darker pictures but it makes the pictures have less noise.
