6. in photography, any of those standards that indicate the size of the lens opening or aperture, the duration of exposure and the sensitivity of the film to light. The aperture or lens speed, of a camera is the size of the opening in the lens. Aperture settings provide one means of controlling the amount of light that falls on the film by determining the maximum diameter of the light beam entering the camera body. A standard set of numbers, called f-stops, describe the lens aperture as a ratio of the focal length . The shutter speed regulates the length of time that the shutter is open during an exposure. Varying the shutter speed controls the film's exposure to light and determines the speed of action that the photograph can freeze or reproduce without blurring the image. Shutter speeds generally range from one second to 1/2,000 of a second. Film speed indicates the sensitivity of a particular emulsion to light. It is usually expressed as an ISO (International Standards Organization) number (formerly called and identical to, the ASA (American Standards Association; now American National Standards Institute) number), or, in Europe, as a DIN (Deutsche Industrie Norm) number. A film with a speed of 32 ISO/ASA or 16/10 DIN, for example, would be considered a slow filmi.e., relatively insensitive to light and most effectively used in bright lightwhereas one with a speed of 400 ISO/ASA or 27/10 DIN, would be considered fasti.e., relatively sensitive to light and therefore usable in dim light or with a very fast shutter speed.
