Determine aperture value
• When the aperture value is
increased, the range of depth in
focus expands, and the picture
shows up clearly from the position
of the camera to the background.
• When the aperture value is
reduced, the range of depth
in focus shrinks, and the
background can get blurry.
• When the picture is too bright
or too dark or there is incorrect
exposure, the numbers for the
aperture value and shutter speed
are shown in red.
