Exposure Triangle Simulator

Terms of Service

The short version: this site is a free learning tool. Use it to learn photography, do not abuse it, and the settings here are starting points, not guarantees. Last updated October 5, 2026.

What this site is

Exposure Triangle Simulator is a free educational website. It offers an interactive camera simulator, photography lessons, calculators, and a free cheat sheet. By using the site, you agree to these terms.

Acceptable use

  • Use the simulator, lessons, and calculators for learning and teaching photography.
  • Do not attempt to disrupt the site, scrape it aggressively, or use it for anything unlawful.
  • The cheat sheet PDF is for your personal use. You may share the signup page, but please do not redistribute the PDF file itself.

Accuracy disclaimer

The simulator is a teaching model, not a perfect replica of any real camera. Settings in the lessons are starting points. Your camera's meter and your own judgment have the final word in the field. We aim for accuracy and update lessons as needed, but we cannot guarantee every setting works for every camera and situation.

Email terms

If you sign up for the cheat sheet, you agree to receive it plus occasional photography tips and site updates by email. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing stops all further emails. See the privacy policy for how your information is handled.

Affiliate disclosure

Some pages may recommend cameras, lenses, or accessories with links to retailers. If you buy through those links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Recommendations are based on what we believe is useful for learning, not on commissions.

Intellectual property

The lessons, simulator, calculators, and design of this site are the property of Exposure Triangle Simulator. You may link to any page and embed the simulator using the code on the embed page. Do not copy substantial portions of the site's content onto another website without permission.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site grows. The "last updated" date above will reflect the latest version. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.
