Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

How does changing the aperture from f/8 to f/4 affect exposure?
Correct Answer: Changing the aperture from f/8 to f/4 increases exposure.
  • Step 1: Understand what aperture is. Aperture is the opening in the camera lens that lets light in.
  • Step 2: Know the f-stop numbers. A lower f-stop number (like f/4) means a larger opening, while a higher f-stop number (like f/8) means a smaller opening.
  • Step 3: Recognize that changing from f/8 to f/4 means you are making the opening larger.
  • Step 4: Realize that a larger opening allows more light to enter the camera.
  • Step 5: Conclude that more light entering the camera increases exposure, making the image brighter.
  • Aperture and Exposure – Understanding how aperture settings (f-stop values) affect the amount of light entering the camera and thus the exposure of an image.
