Right? I’m not like a photographer, I just shoot film on a used analog that I picked up on a whim while traveling. I was given to understand that you had your film ISO, your shutter speed, and your aperture, and while you could prioritize one of them the others would be forced to change with the prioritized one in order to maintain the proper exposure given the lighting conditions.
Like if you had 800 ISO film, and wanted to shoot at night in low light without bokah at like f/16 or f/32, letting in less light, you’d have to lower your shutter speed to the point you’d need a tripod and a shutter bulb.
On a side note when I first got the camera I was traveling for work and really only had time to shoot at night. It took me forever to figure out how to pull off street photography with a shutter speed that doesn’t require a tripod at night, even with like 800 ISO film. It’s been years at this point and I’m just now figuring out how to meter on the fly decently enough that the entire roll isn’t just black.
You have control of aperture, shutter/sensor speed, ISO
My use case above is for video (though the camera is primarily for still photos), so the camera can change shutter and ISO to keep the exposure right while I have aperture locked
I do sometimes have to tell it to go for +/- 1.5 stops depending on how bright the room is
Hmm. My camera is currently set to aperture priority and f/1.2. I want a heavy blur behind the subject. Also it’s in a moderately dark room

Digital does make it easier
So you don’t have to like balance the triangle or whatever?
