It is similar to ISO and is a measure of a film's sensitivity to light (or graininess of digital images). It is just a different standard organization than ISO.
ISO=International Organization for Standardization.
ASA=American Standards Association or something like that.

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 part of a camera controls the amount of light that enters the camera?

The functional opening is the aperture, the opening that controls the amount of light that hits the photosensitive surface. You may have a camera with interchangeable lenses that screw into and out of the camera's body. The opening into which the lens is screwed is not the aperture.


Why does a camera need a aperture to control the amount of light hitting the film?

The aperture setting refers to the iris of the camera lens. Like that of your eye, it opens and closes, regulating the amount of light entering the camera body and exposing the film. I always remembered it like this: "The smaller the number (aperture setting), the bigger the hole" and vice versa. If you are in a darker room you need to turn the aperture down to allow more light in so that your prints do not turn out under exposed. You can also adjust your speed setting in correlation with the aperture setting to create greater/less depth of field, meaning what is in or out of focus in front of or behind your subject.


Which is better a digital camera or a camcorder?

Digital camera is better. Canon EOS 5D Mark II If you're looking for an excellent, full-frame DSLR, the 5D Mk2 is very, very good. It's at least 1 full F-stop more sensitive to light than my Canon 1DS Mk2. A setting of ASA 800 or 1000 yields about the same noise level as my older camera at ASA 400. It's autofocus system is very fast and accurate on single shot mode. -Much better image quality than 1Ds Mkii and iii.
