The 3 camera settings that comprise the Exposure Triangle are __Aperture__, _Shutter Speed & __ISO__.



On the back monitor of our Nikon D3400 cameras, the aperture setting is displayed by __1st__ circle (1st, 2nd or 3rd from the left). Apertures (from smallest openings to largest openings) are typically numbers f32 , f22, f16, f11, f8, f5.6, f4


The shutter speed settings are shown on the __2nd _circle (1st, 2nd or 3rd from the left) on the back monitor. Expressed as f5.6 of a second, the shortest or highest shutter speed on our cameras are 1/2_ seconds and the longest or slowest shutter speed is __30_ seconds.


The third setting ISO controls the camera’s sensitivity to _Light . This setting goes from 100 to _12800_ (max) on our cameras.


To set the ISO on our cameras, we hold down the FN button an rotate the command dial_ Set the iso to 400. Then set the aperture to f5.6, by holding down the #4 button on the top of the camera and rotating the Command dial.
