 White balance helps the camera "balance its colors" because it cannot automatically compensate for different color temperature like a human being does.   Color temperature is measured in kelvins (K). Color temperatures over 5000 K appear in a bluish tone and are called cool colors, whereas color temperatures between 2700 - 3000 K are called warm colors and appear in a yellow tone.  A photographer should know how to change the white balance of their camera because understanding it is pivotal to producing images with colors that are the closest to real life. White balance can enhance photos in a significant way and having the right color temperature can make sure you get a good photograph.  DSLR examples (personal pictures):

 ISO (international organization for standardization) is a setting that controls the amount of light the camera lets in. The ISO controls how dark or how light a picture is going to be.  A lower ISO yields a darker, but sharper picture, whereas a picture with a higher ISO value, is much brighter, but it also has a lot of noise and grain which can affect the quality of the picture.  It is better to use a low ISO when there is ample lighting in the room, or if you are outside in order to get a clear picture with little to no noise. A higher ISO can be used when it is dark or if the lighting is low and there is no possibility to have a long exposure.   ISO (personal pictures):  100 ISO 200 ISO 400 ISO 800 ISO 1600 ISO 3200 ISO 6400 ISO 12800 ISO In these picture examples above, we can see that as the ISO increases, the more darker and grainy the picture gets.    Just like how digital cameras use ISO, video cameras use gain to amplify the intensity an...

 An aperture is a hole in the front of the camera through which light enters. Like the pupil of the human eye, aperture controls the amount of light that enters the camera.   A larger aperture lets in more light, which makes a picture brighter. In the same way, a smaller aperture lets in less light, which makes the picture darker.  Aperture also affects the depth of field of a picture or video. A smaller aperture or f-stop, puts focus only on the foreground or background, blurring everything else. The larger the aperture gets, the more focus that is put on the entire picture instead of isolating just the foreground or background.  The right aperture depends upon what type of a photograph one is trying to take. If the picture involves a portrait or and an object that needs to be focused upon and the rest of background can be ignored, a smaller aperture is useful. And if the image is a landscape where every single detail needs to be clearly seen and identified, a ...
