Going from f/4 to f/5.6 (one full stop) decreases the size of the aperture opening, cutting in half the amount of light that reaches the camera's sensor (or film). Conversely, slowing shutter speed by one stop doubles the amount of time the shutter is open, thus letting in more light.

How do you match aperture and shutter speed?
For example, suppose the subject will be correctly exposed at an aperture of f/4 and a shutter speed of 1/250 s. The correct exposure will then also be achieved if you increase the f-number to f/5.6 while slowing shutter speed to 1/125 s. The same is true at f/8 and 1/60 s and at f/11 and 1/30 s.
What is the perfect aperture and shutter speed?
By the Numbers.
| Aperture Setting | Relative Light | Example Shutter Speed |
|---|---|---|
| f/4.0 | 32X | 1/2 second |
| f/2.8 | 64X | 1/4 second |
| f/2.0 | 128X | 1/8 second |
| f/1.4 | 256X | 1/15 second |
How do I combine ISO aperture and shutter speed?
Try it – set your aperture to the same number you wrote down earlier, use a shutter speed that is twice as fast, then change your ISO to 400. It should look the same as the first image you took earlier.
Does aperture affect shutter speed?
How Aperture Affects Shutter Speed. Using a low f/stop means more light is entering the lens and therefore the shutter doesn't need to stay open as long to make a correct exposure which translates into a faster shutter speed.
What is a standard shutter speed?
The average camera speed is usually 1/60. Speeds slower than this are hard to manage as they almost always lead to blurry photographs. The most common shutter speed settings available on cameras are usually 1/500, 1/250, 1/125, 1/60, 1/30, 1/15, 1/8 etc.
Whats a good shutter speed?
A good shutter speed for this sort of thing is usually around 1/15 second, unless you're dealing with extreme movement (like motor racing). If you're planning to use this effect, though, it's worth testing out a few different shutter speeds to find the one you like the most. Shutter speed: 1/10 second.
