Exposure Adjustment Chart

by Mike on May 17, 2008


The above video was shot using a Canon PowerShot G9

The chart is pretty straight forward and I hope the instructions are clear and easy to understand. The PDF is sized to 4″ X 6″ so you can print it out and keep it in your camera bag or keep it on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch.

If you wish to post the video and the PDF on your site, Please feel free to do so. The only thing I ask is that you do not alter the video or PDF file in any way.

Wow that is a useful tool, is there a specific size we are suppose to print this out as or can we make it bigger?

@Tesseract – print out whatever size you want. I created it to be 4″ X 6″ so you can keep it in your camera bag.

Great little chart you made there. I used it (with due credit and links back here) in a blog post explaining shutter, aperture, and ISO.

On a side note, I watched one of your videos on during a BD into a diffusion dish. After watching it I saw you shot it with a G9 which I’m ashamed to say I hadn’t heard of up until that point. A little bit of research and I picked up a G10, amazing little camera and a great sidekick to my 40D. Thanks for randomly leading me down that path ;)

I just stumbled upon your blog from a video on Youtube and found this post. I have been looking for something like this that is easy to read and portable enough to carry around. Great job!
