Help me understand these  characters (specifications)

ISO
1/20

image

ISO value changes photo to photo (Guess higher pic quality = higher ISO value)

Totally confused with 1/20

And for benefit of everyone....it would be more precious if details are shared!

1/20s - Time that sensor opens to light (shutter speed)
ISO - Sensitivity to light

Shutter speed or exposure time is the length of time when the film or digital sensor inside the camera is exposed to light, also when a camera's shutter is open when taking a photograph.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutter_speed

Film speed is the measure of a photographic film's sensitivity to light, determined by sensitometry and measured on various numerical scales, the most recent being the ISO system.

So in low light Shutter speed is low to capture maximum light 🤔 So that explains why photos with good lighting is more sharp and clear

No. Depending on the cameraman and his perspective about the image everything will change.

Low shutter speed - Low amount of light absorbed
High shutter speed - High amount of light absorbed
