Aperture
|
The aperture is the size of the opening in the lens through which light is allowed to pass when the shutter is opened – the larger the aperture, the more light passes through. The aperture is measured in ‘f-stops’ .A larger aperture has a smaller f-number and a smaller aperture has a larger f-number (e.g. f/22). Each time you change the f-stop, the light meter needs to be checked because the needle needs to fall near the center. |

|
Shutter
|
The shutter speed, measured in seconds, is the amount of time the shutter stays open when taking a photograph. The longer the shutter stays open, the more light passes through to the sensor to be captured. There's a ring on the lens that needs to be rotated to make the subject comes into focus. |
