Aperture
Aperture can be defined as the opening in a lens through which light passes to
enter the camera. You can shrink or enlarge the size of the aperture to allow more
or less light to reach your camera lens.

Shutter Speed
Shutter speed is the length of time the camera shutter is open, exposing light onto
the camera sensor. Shutter speed is responsible for two particular things:
changing the brightness of your photo and creating dramatic effects by either
freezing action or blurring motion.

ISO
ISO relates to a camera’s sensitivity to light. Increasing the the setting makes
your camera more sensitive to light, allowing you to shoot in darker environments
