Shutter Speed is the feature on a camera that can be adjusted to take action shots. If you want to capture something that is in motion, a high shutter speed can be used to avoid motion blur. This means the shutter screen remains open for a shorter period of time, also letting in less light. For my shot demonstrating shutter speed, I used TV mode and set the speed to the fastest setting on the camera in order to capture my model in the air with no blur.
Aperture controls how much light enters the camera as well as the depth of field. With a bigger aperture the camera has a smaller region of focus. This is what I wanted for my picture demonstrating aperture so the focus was on the model. I used the AV mode so I could have a large aperture that would put the background out of focus.
ISO is the feature that measures the sensitivity of the media. A low ISO is the least sensitive, so the sensor senses less light. This feature can come in handy when shooting under low light conditions and gives an advantage of faster shutter speed so there's less motion blur. However, with a higher ISO the picture also becomes more grainy. My photo contains a picture with an ISO of 100, then 400, then 1600, and finally 6400. For these pictures I used the P mode and changed the ISO for each.
