85 chars

Generation

The exposure triangle represents the relationship between three camera settings—aperture, shutter speed, and ISO—that control how much light reaches the sensor to create a properly exposed image. Adjusting one element requires compensating with another to maintain correct exposure, while each setting also affects image quality in different ways (depth of field, motion blur, and digital noise respectively). Understanding this balance is fundamental to controlling both exposure and creative effects in photography.
