Aperture priority lets you set the aperture you want and the camera sets the shutter speed for you. You use it when you want to control depth of field.
Shutter priority lets you set the shutter speed you want and the camera sets the aperture for you. You use it when you want to control how motion is rendered in the photograph.
Program mode sets both shutter speed and aperture for you. Use it when you are not concerned with aperture or shutter speed control.

When you use the aperture function?
Aperture priority is the use of your aperture setting on your camera has priority over the speed priority setting. You want to use your aperture priority in the case of areas with low lighting, while your speed priority settings are set for action photos, such as sporting events. Of course, you also have to take into consideration the ISO of your film. The lower your ISO the likelier you want to use your aperture priority, while the higher the ISO, the higher likely you're going to use your speed priority.

Explain the application of aperture in relationship to shallow and large depth of field. Use diagram or illustration to assist you in you explanation?
When a small aperture setting is used, such as f/11, a large depth of field will be achieved. One would use this, say, if they wanted to take a landscape photograph, and have most of the photo in focus. When a medium aperture setting is used, such as f/4, less of the photograph will be in focus, but not as much as if one were to use an aperture setting of f/1.8. A medium setting like f/4 could be used for a group photo. When a large aperture setting is used, such as f/1.8, a very small slice of the photograph will be in focus (shallow DOF.) This large aperture setting could be used for plant photography, macro photography, insect photography, etc.
What does F1.7 mean in photography?
The f-number is indicative of aperture. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture is, and the more light is let in. The Depth-of-Field is also reduced with a smaller f-number. f/1.7 is a very large aperture, and there will be little depth of field, but lots of brightness.
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 is aperture in photography?
Aperture is the opening in the lens of the camera. A small opening like F:16 requires more time to form an image than an opening like F:1.4 that requires less time.

How do you get depth of field on your camera?
If you're using a DSLR (digital single lens reflex) camera, you need to have it set to Av (aperture priority). The lower your aperture, the less depth of field and vice versa. If you're using a point and shoot camera, you cannot manually control your aperture settings, the various modes do that for you.
Can you get a shallow depth of field with a digital point and shoot You should be able to if it has an aperture setting and or manual or does it depend on the lens?
If you set your camera to aperture priority (usually the "A" on the program dial) and select a large aperture, say, f2 to f4, then the resulting image will have less depth of field than at, say, f11. The lens always affects how wide you can open the aperture, but the depth of field is not dependant on the lens other than this.
