Sunny 16 Reference
On a sunny day, set aperture to f/16 and shutter speed to 1/ISO (the reciprocal of the film speed). Adjust from there based on conditions.
| Condition | EV | Example Exposure |
|---|---|---|
| Bright sunlight (snow/sand) | 16 | f/16 @ 1/ISO |
| Sunny (Sunny 16) | 15 | f/16 @ 1/ISO |
| Hazy / Slight overcast | 14 | f/11 @ 1/ISO |
| Cloudy bright | 13 | f/8 @ 1/ISO |
| Overcast | 12 | f/5.6 @ 1/ISO |
| Heavy overcast | 11 | f/4 @ 1/ISO |
| Sunset / Shade | 10 | f/2.8 @ 1/ISO |
| Just after sunset | 9 | f/2 @ 1/30 |
| Dusk / Stage lighting | 7 | f/2 @ 1/8 |
| Indoor home lighting | 5 | f/2 @ 1/2 |
| Dim interior / Candlelight | 3 | f/2 @ 4s |
EV Formula
Where N = f-number (aperture) and t = exposure time in seconds. All combinations of aperture and shutter speed at the same EV produce equivalent exposure.
