  • Exposure Values
    Exposure value - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 9 Exposure value From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In photography, exposure value (EV) denotes all combinations of camera shutter speed Photography Portal and relative aperture that give the same exposure. The concept was developed in Germany in the 1950s (Ray 2000), in attempt to simplify choosing among combinations of equivalent camera settings. Exposure value also is used to indicate an interval on the photographic exposure scale, with 1 EV corresponding to a standard power-of-2 exposure step, commonly referred to as a “stop.”[1] Exposure value was originally indicated by the quantity symbol Ev; this symbol continues to be used in ISO standards, but the acronym EV is now more common elsewhere. Although all camera settings with the same exposure value nominally give the same exposure, they do not necessarily give the same picture. The exposure time (“shutter speed”) determines the amount of motion blur, as illustrated by the two images at the right, and the relative aperture determines the depth of field. Contents 1 Formal definition 2 EV as an indicator of camera settings Fast shutter speed, short exposure 3 Tabulated exposure values 4 Setting EV on a camera 5 Meter indication in EV 6 Relationship of EV to lighting conditions 7 EV and APEX 8 EV as a measure of luminance and illuminance 9 Notes 10 References 11 Further reading 12 See also 13 External links Formal definition Slow shutter speed, long exposure Exposure value is a base-2 logarithmic scale defined by where N is the relative aperture (f-number) t is the exposure time (“shutter speed”) EV 0 corresponds to an exposure time of 1 s and a relative aperture of f/1.0.

  • APEX—The Additive System of Photographic Exposure Douglas A
    APEX—The Additive System of Photographic Exposure Douglas A. Kerr Issue 4.1 July 21, 2005 ABSTRACT The Additive System of Photographic Exposure (APEX) provides for stating several factors involved in photographic exposure in logarithmic form. In this way, calculation of the “proper exposure” for a given situation may be done manually using only simple addition. Although the importance of that has largely faded since the time the system was developed, it is still widely used in technical work relating to photographic exposure, especially the APEX quantity “exposure value” (EV). This article explains the APEX system, and gives cautions about various irregularities in its usage that are often encountered. INTRODUCTION The role of APEX The Additive System of Photographic Exposure (APEX) provides for stating several factors involved in photographic exposure in logarithmic form. In this way, calculation of the “proper exposure” for a given situation may be done manually using only simple addition. This convenience was a principal motivation for the development of the system, which took place when the use of photographic light meters was not universal and cameras with internal exposure metering systems were almost nonexistent. Although changes in practice and technology have diminished the importance of this objective, it is today still common and convenient to express certain exposure-related factors in APEX terms. The factors represented in this system are: • Exposure time (shutter speed) • Aperture (in the f/number sense) • Exposure (the joint effect of the two above factors) • ISO sensitivity (film “speed”) • Metered scene luminance (brightness) • Incident light illuminance Copyright 2003-2005 Douglas A.

  • Principles of Camera Exposure Control
    Chapter 2 Basic Principles of Exposure Control 2.1 Introduction The conventional exposure control principles used in the film camera can be applied to the DSCs [11], [12], [13]. In this chapter, we describe the basic principles derived from the film cameras for further usage in the DSCs. The first part gives the exposure parameters including exposure controlling factors, focal plane exposure and light sensitivity of imaging media. The second part describes the well-known exposure equations used in the film camera system. The final part presents the additive system of photographic exposure control (APEX), which is a practical exposure control system in the film cameras. 8 2.2 Factors of Exposure Control The imaging system of camera can be divided into two parts. One is the optical system which controls the amount of light coming from the scene or the object, the other is the imaging media which absorbs light and records the image as shown in Fig. 2-1. Generally, the control of light to produce appropriate image calls exposure control. Thus, there are two factors that affect the exposure control. One is the amount of the exposure at the focal plane which is controlled by the exposure time, the aperture size of lens, the transmittance of lens, and the scene luminance. The other is the light sensitivity of the imaging media which is controlled by the size of sensing grain of the film and the gain value of the imaging sensor. Scene or object Optical system Imaging media Fig. 2-1 Configuration of the major parts of the imaging system 2.2.1 Focal Plane Exposure Focal plane exposure is the term used to refer the amount of light coming from the scene or object reaching the imaging media at the focal plane.
