The pupil opening at f2.8 has 64 times the area than the pupil opening at f22. Time value for the scene at Av of f2.8 (1/3200 sec). Note that, in this example, the time value of the exposure for Av of f22 is 1/50 sec, 64 times the The wavy lines in the background wall are clear. The f22 setting gives a focus to the whole field of view. Note that the f2.8 setting gives a focus to the center of the frame where the camera was focused, and the foreground flowers and background wall are blurred.
The camera itself will set an f number in the case of other modesĮxample scene taken with Av (Aperture value) at f2.8 and then at f22

The characteristics of the image vary with f numbers.Īt low f numbers, a larger pupil is exposed and the depth of field decreases and may be shallow so that only part of the subject may be in focus.Īt larger f numbers, a smaller pupil is exposed and the depth of field increases so that more of the scene may be in focus.Ī user can choose f numbers by using the Aperture Value (Av) settingįor the camera or the manual (M) setting and setting an f number. The fact that increasing the f number decreases the pupil opening is because the pupil diameter and f number are inversely related to each other. Higher f numbers (such as f16 f22 f32) correspond to smaller entrance pupil for the lens. Lower f numbers (such as f2, f2.8, f4) correspond to a larger entrance pupil for the lens.

Lens focal length divided by the diameter of the lens entrance pupil (the The basic concept is that the f number is the However, on the Rebel camera and in other literature, the f numbers are displayed on the controls without the slash, so I am going to use the convention of referring to an f number of 8 as f8.Ī user of a camera encounters the f number in camera settings. For example, f/8 refers to an f number of 8. Sometimes there is a slash or sometimes there is not a slash. I first want to set out a notation for discussing f numbers.Īn f number is sometimes written with the letter f and the number.
