About this activity

What you practise: You treated shutter, aperture and ISO as one system: every gain in one place has a price somewhere else.

A hand-written example with a fixed sequence. It shows what working on a Klarisma activity feels like; your own activities follow your goals and material.

An example with fictional data. Your answers stay on this page and are cleared when you restart or leave.

The cyclist is blurred. Which change freezes her movement? Current settings: 1/60 s, f/5.6, ISO 200. The background is sharp, but the cyclist is a blur. The shutter speed decides how long movement is recorded. At 1/500 s she moves about eight times less during the shot.
