I'm a total amateur, but I think I get the notion of either you let a lot of light in for a little time, or a little light in for a lot of time. But I don't understand how, exactly, you vary the amount of light you let in.

I could see how different lenses would let more or less light in, depending on their quality, but I don't understand how a camera can decide to let less light in.
