9 EXPOSURE 9 Exposure The amountof light that exposes aframe isdeterminedbythe aperture and shutter speed. The size of the aperture controls the amount of light allowed to reach the film, while the shutter speed controls how long the light strikes the film. For the same exposure, a change in shutter speed requires an equal and opposite change in aperture, and vice versa. There are usually several combinations of shutter speed and aperture which will give the same exposure. If. for example, the met
