iso is the sensor's sensativity to light. by going up from 100iso to 200 to 400 etc the sensativity increases. exposure is the amount of light that the sensor receives during each shot. the amount of light can be varied by changing the fstop and/or the shutter speed.

How do camera settings influence exposure?

How do camera settings influence exposure? They control the aperture/opening of the lens, which determines how much light reaches the film or microchip. Shutter speed also helps determine how much light reaches into the camera to create the image.

How do you know if your exposure is correct?

To determine if you have proper exposure on your digital images check your histogram on the back of your camera after every photo you take. It sounds like a lot of work to do this, but trust me, if your exposure is correct, you will have less “fixing” to do to your images afterward, so really, it's a time saver.

What are the similarities and differences between a mirrorless camera and a DSLR camera?

Mirrorless cameras have the advantage of usually being lighter, more compact, faster and better for video; but that comes at the cost of access to fewer lenses and accessories. DSLRs have the advantage in lens selection and an optical viewfinder that works better in low light, but they are more complex and bulkier.
