Exposure

A measure of how much light reaches a camera's photosensitive sensor. The relationship between the lens aperture (the quantity of light allowed into the camera) and the shutter speed determines how much light is admitted into the camera (the length of exposure time) and can be formulated as follows: aperture + shutter speed = exposure.
