Creating well-exposed photos can be tricky if you don’t really know how the configs affect the image captured.
Here, we discuss the best camera configs for taking bright pictures.
What Is the Exposure Triangle?
In photography, there’s a phrase calledthe exposure triangle.
Different lighting conditions will require different parameters.
Note that the following controls can vary from camera to camera.
Let’s jump right in!
Sunny Conditions
The sun is better than any LED panel it’s possible for you to buy.
To keep the background in focus with a wide field of view, we set the aperture to f/32.

Under Shade
You’re not always going to have bright sunlight for your pictures, unfortunately.
Taking pictures under shade means that you’ll be working with reduced light.
Because of this, your configs will need to be changed accordingly.
Then we set the ISO to 1000 and the shutter speed to 1/100 (see picture 2-3).
You should play around with the ISO and shutter speed and see what happens.
Pushing up the ISO, however, can introduce some noise into the picture.
If you see noise, you could lower the ISO a bit and choose a slower shutter speed.
If you don’t have a tripod,check out these alternatives.
We also used an LED light panel for one of the shots, as well.
We didn’t use an LED panel for the first two shots, however.
to get to get a nice shallow depth of field, we opened the aperture to f/5.6.
As stated before, we used an LED panel for additional light.
The reason you might need more light is that the aperture is a lot narrower.
These recommended camera configs can help you brighten up your photos and finally get the perfect exposure level.
But you should always experiment with the levels to see what works best for you.
