ISO
The final leg of the triangle is ISO. Whether you shoot with film or use a digital camera, your choice of ISO has a direct impact on the combination of apertures and shutter speeds you can use.. To better understand the effect of ISO on exposure, think of the ISO as a worker bee. If my camera is set for ISO 100, I have, in effect, 100 worker bees; and if your camera is set for ISO 200,
you have 200 worker bees. The job of these worker bees is to gather the
light that comes through the lens and make an image. If both of us set
our lenses at the same aperture of f/5.6—meaning that the same volume of
light will be coming through our lenses—who will record the image the
quickest, you or me? You will, since you have twice as many worker bees
at ISO 200 than I do at ISO 100.
