The f on a camera lens is the maximum aperture of the lens. It is sometimes listed as 1:X with X being the maximum aperture. For example:
- Canon EF 50mm f1.4 is a 50mm prime lens with a maximum aperture of 1.4
- Tamron 90mm f2.8 is a 90mm prime lens with a maximum aperture of 2.8
- Canon 70-200mm f/4 is a lens with a focal length of 70-200mm and a maximum aperture of 4.

What is apperture?
The main function of a camera lens is to collect light. The aperture of a lens is the diameter of the lens opening and is usually controlled by an iris. The larger the diameter of the aperture, the more light reaches the film / image sensor.Aperture is expressed as F-stop, e.g. F2.8 or f/2.8. The smaller the F-stop number (or f/value), the larger the lens opening (aperture).
What is the F in F-stop?
It is a measure of the size of the opening in the lens for the light to pass through. The smaller the f-stop the larger the lens opening, and large f numbers relate to small openings or apertures in the lens.
What does F5 camera setting mean?
the F numbers usually refer to the aperture of the lens which controls how much light can enter the camera. it also affects the depth of field.
What is the meaning of 18-135mm f3.5-5.6g ed-if af-s dx?
This is a Nikon lens that was originally released around 2005. AF-S stands for Auto Focus-Silent Wave Motor. This means that the lens has an autofocus motor built into it, so the cameras used with it do not have to have AF motors built into them. "DX" refers to the size of the camera sensor; the sensor has a 1.5x crop, which affects the focal length and the aperture. "18-135mm" refers to the range of focal lengths of the lens. "f/3.5-5.6" refers to the aperture of the lens; as the lens is zoomed in to longer focal lengths, the aperture gradually increases from f/3.5 to f/5.6. "ED" refers to the Extra-Low Dispersion elements, which reduce the chromatic aberration of the lens. IF stands for Internal Focus, which means the lens length does not change when focusing. The front element of this lens does not rotate when focusing either, so the orientation of front mounted accessories such as polarizing filters does not change during focusing. In photography, the "focal length" of a lens is usually stated in millimeters (mm). The higher the number, the greater the magnification. A "normal" focal length for a 35mm film camera is around 50mm. A focal length of 18mm is considered "wide angle" and 135mm is sometimes referred to as a "portrait" lens. Lenses with higher numbers (200-1000) may be called "tele-photo". The listing for a lens as 18-135mm means it is a "zoom" lens. This means the focal length can be changed by the photographer usually by turning a ring on the body of the lens. As to "f3.5-5.6", in this listing, it is the range of the maximum size of the aperture. The aperture is the opening in the camera that allows light in to take the picture. The f number -- called the "f-stop" is calculated by dividing the diameter of the aperture opening by the focal length of the lens and expressing the answer as a properly reduced fraction (with the top number a 1). The f-stop is the bottom of the fraction. For example: a camera with a 100mm lens that has a maximum aperture of 50mm, or an "f-stop" of 2 (50/100=1/2). On a zoom lens, since the focal length changes, but the aperture does not, the f-stop will change with the focal length. So, the first number 3.5 means at the lower focal length (18mm) the maximum aperture opening is 1/3.5th of the focal length, or about 5mm. The other number 5.6 means at the higher focal length (135mm) the maximum aperture opening is 1/5.6th of the focal length, or about 24mm.
What does fstop mean?
An F Stop refers to a ratio used in a camera lens. It is concerned with the amount of light the lens lets in, how fast the camera can take a picture, and how much of the picture will be in focus. With pixels, it is possible to overcome some of the restrictions of film cameras. First, if you have a low f stop, like 1.2, and you have a lot of light, you can take a picture real fast. Only the object you focused the camera on will be in focus. If you use a high f stop, like 22, you will need to slow down your shutter speed. Your subject will be in focus and so will the background. The old point and click cameras had about a shutter speed of 1/125 of a second, a distance of 8 feet, and an f stop of about 8. The person would be in focus. The background would not.
What is the f number equation used in photography to calculate the aperture of a camera lens?
The f-number equation used in photography to calculate the aperture of a camera lens is f-number focal length / diameter of the aperture.
What does the "f" signify on a camera lens?
The "f" on a camera lens signifies the aperture setting, which controls the amount of light entering the camera. A lower f-number means a larger aperture and more light, while a higher f-number means a smaller aperture and less light.
What are aparture and f-number?
Aperture refers to the opening in a camera lens through which light passes. The f-number, also known as the f-stop, is the ratio of the lens's focal length to the diameter of the aperture. A smaller f-number indicates a larger aperture and more light entering the camera.
What is the aperture range of the camera lens you are using for your photography?
The aperture range of the camera lens I am using for my photography is f/2.8 to f/22.
How do you calculate the f-stop of a camera lens?
To calculate the f-stop of a camera lens, you divide the focal length of the lens by the diameter of the aperture opening. The f-stop is a measure of how much light the lens lets in, with lower f-stop numbers indicating a larger aperture opening and more light entering the camera.
What does the f-number signify on a lens and how does it impact photography?
The f-number on a lens indicates the size of the aperture opening. A lower f-number means a larger aperture, allowing more light to enter the camera. This affects the depth of field and the amount of light reaching the camera sensor, influencing the exposure and sharpness of the image in photography.
What type of lens mount does the Nikon D3400 camera have?
The Nikon D3400 camera has a Nikon F lens mount.
What does the "f/" mean on a lens?
The "f/" on a lens refers to the aperture setting, which controls the amount of light entering the camera. A lower f-number means a larger aperture and more light, while a higher f-number means a smaller aperture and less light.
What is a stop on a camera?
The f-stop is a number used to describe the relative opening size of the lens diaphragm during the moment of exposure. It is "relative" because the physical size for a given number (e.g. F 5.6) depends on the focal length of the lens. F 5.6 is physically larger in a 200mm lens than it is in a 50mm lens.
What is an f stop?
It refers to the lens opening of a camera.
What type of lens mount does the Nikon D3200 camera use?
The Nikon D3200 camera uses the Nikon F lens mount.
What does f1.4 mean on a digital camera lens?
The setting which dictates the amount of light that enters the lens. f-stop...f-1.4
