How the math works
Each "stop" is a doubling or halving of light. Doubling ISO, opening the aperture by one stop, or doubling shutter time all add one stop. Equivalent exposures keep ISO_stops + aperture_stops + shutter_stops constant.
EV at ISO 100 = log₂(N² / t), where N = aperture and t = shutter in seconds. We adjust by 1/3 stops to match camera dial increments.
