Pros flocked to their system, and the amateurs followed. At the leading edge of technological development, they introduced the F mount to great acclaim, alongside some top-notch glass. If the common value of K = 12.5 (unit: cd s/m 2 ISO) is used, an EV of zero (e.g.Nikon was the darling of the camera industry. The image-plane illuminance is directly proportional to the area of the aperture, and hence inversely proportional to the square of the lens f-number thus Relationship of camera settings to luminous exposure The 1964 ASA standard for automatic exposure controls for cameras, ASA PH2.15-1964, took the same approach, and also used the more descriptive term camera exposure settings.Ĭommon practice among photographers is nonetheless to use "exposure" to refer to camera settings as well as to photometric exposure. To avoid confusion, some authors ( Ray 2000, 310) have used camera exposure to refer to combinations of camera settings. The illuminance E is controlled by the f-number but also depends on the scene luminance.
The f-number (relative aperture) determines the depth of field, and the shutter speed ( exposure time) determines the amount of motion blur, as illustrated by the two images at the right (and at long exposure times, as a second-order effect, the light-sensitive medium may exhibit reciprocity failure, which is a change of light sensitivity dependent on the irradiance at the film). The Exif standard uses Ev ( CIPA 2016).Īlthough all camera settings with the same EV nominally give the same exposure, they do not necessarily give the same picture.

The ASA and ANSI standards used the quantity symbol E v, with the subscript v indicating the logarithmic value this symbol continues to be used in ISO standards, but the acronym EV is more common elsewhere. With all of these elements included, the camera would be set by transferring the single number thus determined.Įxposure value has been indicated in various ways. The proper EV was determined by the scene luminance and film speed it was intended that the system also include adjustment for filters, exposure compensation, and other variables. The concept became known as the Light Value System (LVS) in Europe it was generally known as the Exposure Value System (EVS) when the features became available on cameras in the United States ( Desfor 1957).īecause of mechanical considerations, the coupling of shutter and aperture was limited to lenses with leaf shutters however, various automatic exposure modes now work to somewhat the same effect in cameras with focal-plane shutters.
But it was also useful for experienced photographers who might choose a shutter speed to stop motion or an f-number for depth of field, because it allowed for faster adjustment-without the need for mental calculations-and reduced the chance of error when making the adjustment. This was especially helpful to beginners with limited understanding of the effects of shutter speed and aperture and the relationship between them. On some lenses with leaf shutters, the process was further simplified by allowing the shutter and aperture controls to be linked such that, when one was changed, the other was automatically adjusted to maintain the same exposure. Its intent was to simplify choosing among equivalent camera exposure settings by replacing combinations of shutter speed and f-number (e.g., 1/125 s at f/16) with a single number (e.g., 15). The EV concept was developed by the German shutter manufacturer Friedrich Deckel in the 1950s ( Gebele 19, 318). Exposure value is also used to indicate an interval on the photographic exposure scale, with a difference of 1 EV corresponding to a standard power-of-2 exposure step, commonly referred to as a stop. In photography, exposure value ( EV) is a number that represents a combination of a camera's shutter speed and f-number, such that all combinations that yield the same exposure have the same EV (for any fixed scene luminance).
