"Aperture is the opening of the lens mainly used for controlling the amount of light reaching the camera’s sensor. The size of the aperture is indicated by numbers, called as the f-stop numbers. As the f-stop number gets smaller, the aperture gets larger. Thus, larger the hole, more the amount of light enters and reaches the sensor and smaller the whole, lesser the amount of light reaches the sensor."
Thank you. I'm giving myself a grace period with my new camera to learn the auto settings, then I want to tackle the manual settings. That's a clear and simple explanation. I'll have to check out the website for other info. Thanks.
