The iris (technically the diaphragm) lets light from the lens enter the camera.
The entire lens can let light fall on the film or sensor. But, much of the time it doesn't do that. An device called an iris makes the hole through which light passes larger and smaller. When all the way open it lets light from the entire lens reach the film or sensor, but it can make the hole smaller and only allow light from a part of the lens enter.

What part of A camera lets in light?
The Shutter.
How does light travel through a digital camera?
When you click the camera the shutter behind the lens of the camera opens briefly and lets in the light on to the film. I am no specialist and this is what I learnt in school.
How does aperture work to control the amount of light entering the camera?
Aperture is the opening in the lens of a camera that can be adjusted to control the amount of light that enters the camera. By changing the size of the aperture, more or less light can pass through to the camera sensor, affecting the exposure of the photograph. A larger aperture lets in more light, resulting in a brighter image, while a smaller aperture lets in less light, resulting in a darker image.
What control the amount of light allowed to pass on the film?
The aperture on a camera lens controls the amount of light allowed to pass through to the film by adjusting the size of the opening. A smaller aperture lets in less light, while a larger aperture lets in more light.
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.
Which f stop indicates the smallest aperture opening?
F22 - All the lenses I have for my 35mm camera have an F22 setting, this lets the least amount of light through the lens.
What is an aperture on a camera and how does it affect the quality of the photographs taken?
An aperture on a camera is the opening through which light enters the camera lens. It affects the quality of photographs by controlling the amount of light that reaches the camera sensor, as well as the depth of field in the image. A larger aperture lets in more light and creates a shallower depth of field, resulting in a blurred background and a sharper subject. A smaller aperture lets in less light and creates a deeper depth of field, keeping more of the image in focus.
How does an aperture work to control the amount of light entering a camera?
An aperture in a camera works by adjusting the size of the opening through which light enters the camera. By changing the size of the aperture, the amount of light that reaches the camera's sensor can be controlled. A smaller aperture lets in less light, while a larger aperture lets in more light.
What is the aperture of a camera and how does it affect the quality of the photographs taken?
The aperture of a camera is the opening through which light enters the camera lens. It affects the amount of light that reaches the camera sensor and also controls the depth of field in a photograph. A wider aperture lets in more light and creates a shallower depth of field, resulting in a blurred background and a focused subject. A smaller aperture lets in less light and creates a larger depth of field, keeping more of the image in focus. Adjusting the aperture can impact the overall quality and look of the photographs taken.
What is an apature on a camera?
opening that lets light in
How do you set the aperture on a Nikon camera?
To set the aperture on a Nikon camera, you can adjust it using the command dial on the camera body. Turn the dial to change the aperture value to a higher or lower number, which controls the amount of light entering the camera lens. A lower aperture number (e.g. f/2.8) lets in more light and creates a shallower depth of field, while a higher aperture number (e.g. f/16) lets in less light and creates a deeper depth of field.
What is the difference between aperture and shutter in photography?
In photography, aperture refers to the size of the opening in the lens that lets light in, affecting the depth of field and amount of light. Shutter speed, on the other hand, controls how long the camera's shutter remains open, determining the amount of time light hits the camera sensor.
