Aperture PDF

The document discusses aperture and its effects on a camera. Aperture, measured in f-stops, controls the amount of light entering the camera through the lens. Smaller f-stop numbers allow more light in and result in a shallower depth of field with a blurred background, while larger f-stop numbers allow less light in and produce a deeper depth of field with a greater area in focus. The document also provides examples of common f-stop ranges used for different types of photography.
