Taking Command: Custom Pro Controls, Exposure Reciprocity & The ISO Reality

180.4 Lesson 04 of 08 3 quiz questions 1 assignment

The moment you hand your camera over to an automatic exposure system, you have made a quiet pact with an algorithm. You have agreed to let a microprocessor decide how bright the world should look, how motion should be rendered, and how much depth of field the viewer is permitted to see. The algorithm invariably seeks safety: it averages the scene out to eighteen percent neutral grey, chooses a shutter speed fast enough to prevent hand-shake, and picks an aperture that keeps most things acceptably sharp. It produces a usable picture, but an artist seeks an honest statement.
