Aperture settings determine the size of the opening that allows light into the camera lens. A wider aperture admits more light but results in a shallower depth of field, where less of the image is in focus. A smaller aperture lets in less light but provides a greater depth of field, with more of the scene appearing sharp. The document provides examples of different f-stop settings and their impact on depth of field.

2. About Aperture
• Aperture settings determine how wide the hole
which light travels into the camera lens
– The wider the hole, the more light
• Shallower Depth of Field
– The smaller the hole, the less light
• Greater Depth of Field
• Depth of Field:
– the distance between the nearest and farthest objects
in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image
