The aperture value indicates how much light can pass through. Since itis expressed as 2.8, /16, etc, itis also called the "F-number. The 1/1 aperture value represent the maximum diameter of the aperture. When the aperture is half the size, itis called f2, and whan a quarter ofthe fullsize, itis 1/4 ‘The Enumberis therefore the denominator of the fractional size. ‘The largerthe denominator or f-number, the smaller the aperture size and the less light can pass through Note that although 2 is halfthe diameter of fit, the total area ofthe hole is only one-fourth of the full-size hole (1/2. 1/2 = 1/4). And so the amount of light passing through is only 1/4 that of the full-size hole. When the Frumber is doubled, the amount of light shrinks to 1/4 of amount, \g shutter speed The shutter controls the amount of time that the light can strike the imaging sensor. Along with the aperture that controls the amount oflight, he shutter speed works in combination to control the total amount of light the imaging sensor receives. With the same aperture, using a shutter speed of 112 sec. decreases the amount of light by half compared to a shutter speed of 1 sec. And a shulter speed of 1/4 sec. yields one-fourth the amount of light. Uniike the aperture, he difference in the shutter speed readily corresponds to the difference in the amount flight. The shutter speed is indicated by the denominator. For example, "500 means 1/500 sec. Since the sensor can record an image only while the shutter is open, it can freeze (with a fast shutter speed) or blur (with a slow shutter speed) a moving subject. @ exposure This is the amount of light received by the imaging sensor as determined by the aperture and shutter speed. The ISO speedis alsa a factor in the exposure so sometimes it is incuded as part of the exposure equation. “correct exposure” refers to an image which has about the same colors and brightness as seen by the human eye. itrepresents the correct combination of the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO saeed. the image looks too bright, itis overexposed.

Lens catalogs usually list the angle ofview as the diagonal angle across the photo. The angle of view of a 50 mm lens, which is considered the closest to the perspective of the human eye, is about 4 degrees (when using a 36mm sensor). Generally speaking, lenses with angles of view wider than this are called wide-angle lenses and lenses with angles of view narrower than this are called telephoto lenses. ‘The size of the imaging sensor changes the angle of view ofa lens. The smaller the imaging sensor, the narrower the anale of view. For example, the angle of view of a 0 mm lens on a camera with a 35mm full-frame sensor is about 46 degrees. But the angle of ew through the same lens on a camera with the smaller APS-H size sensor is about 37 degrees and only about 30 fees on a camera with the even smaller APS-C size sensor. The 37-degree angle of view on the APS-H sensoris equivalent to a 65 mm focal length lens on a 36mm sensor; the 30-degree angle of view onthe APS-C sensor is equivalentto an 80 mm focal length on a 36mm sensor.
