Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What does the aperture setting control in photography?
Correct Answer: Aperture controls the amount of light that enters the camera.
  • Step 1: Understand that aperture is a part of the camera lens.
  • Step 2: Know that the aperture can open wide or close small.
  • Step 3: Realize that when the aperture is wide open, more light enters the camera.
  • Step 4: When the aperture is small, less light enters the camera.
  • Step 5: Learn that the amount of light affects how bright or dark the photo is (this is called exposure).
  • Step 6: Understand that aperture also affects how much of the photo is in focus (this is called depth of field).
  • Step 7: Remember that a wide aperture gives a blurry background, while a small aperture keeps more of the photo in focus.
