Manual Setting – adjust the aperture and shutter

Aperture – is the size of the hole which allows light into the sensor. A lower aperture number means the larger the hole. It allows for the focus on an object and blurring the background ‘bokeh’ or bringing everything in focus.

Smaller f-stop means a larger aperture, while a larger f-stop means a smaller aperture. Most people find this awkward, since we are used to having larger numbers represent larger values, but not in this case.

Aperture affects depth of field, a small f stop will focus on an item while a larger will take in all the surroundings.

The smaller the f-stop (larger the aperture) the quicker it is because it can gather a lot more light in a small window of time (large opening). This means it’s good in low light situations.
