In the learning process of photography, one of the first things you need to know are the exposure controls in a camera because it controls how a photograph you take turns out. The Exposure triangle Exposure is how much light per unit area is reaching the plane surface of an image sensor i.e. the amount of light the image sensor is being exposed to. Exposure of an image depends on four elements viz. ISO, aperture ,  shutter speed  and luminescence of the scene.

To put it simply, there are three sizes of camera sensors that are available to the consumer market viz. Full frame , APS-C and Micro four thirds .
