Photography Exposure Settings Guide

The document is a chart that provides guidance on selecting aperture and shutter speed settings based on film speed (ISO) for photographic situations. It shows numerical exposure values that correspond to combinations of aperture, shutter speed, and film speed. The exposure values indicate the amount of over or under exposure from standard, with negative numbers being underexposed and positive being overexposed.
