    The aperture within a camera lens controls both the amount of light entering the lens and the depth of field. A smaller aperture opening lets in less light but provides a larger depth of field with more of the image in focus, while a larger aperture opening lets in more light but results in a shallower depth of field. Changing the aperture setting, also known as the f-stop number, allows photographers to control how much of the image is in focus based on their composition needs.

    APETURE AND DEPTH OF FIELD

    Within the lens there are blades which open and close to allow in more or less light. They become smaller
    and let in less light when the image being shot is bright and they become larger and let in more light when
    the image is dark. These blades control the amount of light within an image but also the depth of field.
    - On a camera the setting ‘AV’ means aperture value. This means that you are telling the camera that
    the thing you want to control is the aperture.

    DEPTH OF FIELD
    Depth of field means what is in focus and it is controlled by the aperture. The smaller the aperture the
    larger the depth of field. You should change the depth of field to choose what is in focus.
    CHANGING THE APETURE ALSO CHANGES THE DEPTH OF FIELD
