Mr. Clark’s Camera Settings Nikon D3100

Portrait Setting The portrait setting on the camera has a longer shutter speed and a very wide aperture. Using this setting will pick up more detail in the foreground of the picture, the extended shutter speed will also allow more light to enter the lens.

Sport Setting The sport setting has a very fast shutter speed in order to capture motion. This lets less light into the lens of the camera. It also has a wide apature which picks up more detail in the foreground.

Slow Shutter Speed The shutter speed on this picture was manually adjusted for the shutter to stay open for 2 seconds (a normal shutter stays open for 1/250 of a second). This means that the image is exposed to light for a longer period of time. This lets in an extreme amount of light and is usually used for night time. A tripod is a must for long exposures.

Small Aperture Setting In this photograph the aperture was set to a very small opening in the lens. This enables the camera to pick up details in the foreground and the background. A small aperture is usually used when shooting landscape.
