The cameras aperture solely depends on how fast the lens is that is mounted to the camera. An aperture is the size of the opening in the lens, depicting the amount of light let in with each photograph taken. Different apertures of lenses are often called F stops (eg. F/2.8) and the lower the number the larger the opening, meaning it takes less of a shutter speed (less time) to get the right amount of light needed, which is why we call them fast lenses.
Fast lenses are mostly found at the professional level but can be found at the prosumer level as well. Not only will different f/stops (size of aperture) let more or less light in it will also create different effects. A very wide aperture such as a f/1.8 will create a nice background blur effect as a closed aperture with the same lens creates a starburst if shooting pictures of the sun or other light sources.

Can you use a aperture on a digital camera?
An aperture is a hole where light travels through. Therefore in any camera there is always an aperture - including digital cameras - even if it is fixed
What is aperture priority mode?
is a setting on some cameras that allows the user to choose a specific aperture value while the camera selects a shutter speed to match.
Why do pinhole cameras need long exposure times?
Because the aperture is tiny, so as to take advantage of the depth of field a small aperture will give. This lets pinhole cameras make sharp pictures without needing any way to focus them.
What would someone use apertures for?
An aperture is a hole through which light travels. An aperture can be used for different things including cameras, telescopes and microscopes to name a few.
What is an iris in cameras?
The shutter acts like the iris of the eye because it lets the proper amount of light.
What determines the shallowest depth in field in photography?
The largest aperture which is the smallest number on the aperture ring/dial generally anything between f1.2 - f5.6 dependant on the lens and zoom. On most consumer digital cameras the more you zoom in the higher the smallest aperture becomes. eg. Lens at 35mm, widest aperture (shallowest depth of field) generally about f2.8 Zoom in and the largest aperture will reduce to about f5.6
What are manual cameras?
A manual camera is a camera that does not have any automated functions, like film transport that winds the film, or exposure modes like shutter or aperture priority. Most manual cameras also do not have auto-focus capability.
Can you take a photograph of your image in a plane mirror and focus the camera on both your image and the mirror frame?
Only if you are using a pinhole camera.If you reduce the aperture you will increase the depth of focus, but you can't decrease the aperture to a pinhole on most cameras.
Where can one find reviews on shockproof digital cameras?
CNET provides the most up to date and in-depth reviews of shock-proof cameras. Magazines like Aperture and Outdoor Photography have sections of digital cameras however the sections for sock-proof cameras could be limited. TechCrunch and Imaging have both professional and casual reviews from consumers.
What is an aperture membrane?
An aperture membrane is a section of enzine forming the base of an aperture.
What is an aperture on a shell?
"Aperture" means "opening".
How is a cameras aperture similar to the iris in a human eye?
They both open and close to restrict or allow light into them.They both focusThey both see imagesThey both also project light
