When you increase the sensitivity, you don’t need as much light to reach the sensor to expose the photograph correctly.

If you increase the ISO you increase the sensitivity. The ISO setting on a camera is another standard that’s been set to measure how sensitive the camera sensor is to light. To expose the image correctly you would need to open the aperture to allow twice as much light through or increase the ISO setting. For example, a shutter speed of 1/60” is half 1/30” and so allows half the light to pass. If you reduce or shorten the shutter speed, less light will reach the sensor. The shutter speed is how long the camera’s shutter opens to let light through the aperture to reach the sensor. There is also the shutter speed and the ISO setting. But the aperture is not the only control we can use. Controlling the exposure is all about ensuring the image is not too light or too dark. You can see this in the diagram below.īeing able to control the amount of light reaching the camera sensor using the aperture is one way we can control the exposure of a photograph. For example, a lens with an f-stop of f/1.4 will allow much more light to pass than if the f-stop were f/16.0. The point that sometimes confuses people is that the smaller the f-stop number, the wider the aperture. This means if we have a camera set to f/8.0 it allows the same amount of light to pass as any other camera and lens set to f/8.0. The f-stop is also a standard adopted across the photographic industry. You will usually find the f-stop written as an f followed by a number for example f/5.6.
The f-stop is the measurement of how much light the aperture in the lens allows through. If we make the aperture smaller it restricts the light reaching the sensor. When we make the aperture large it allows more light to reach the camera’s sensor. With more expensive and complex cameras it’s often possible to change the size of the aperture. This means the hole that lets the light through is a fixed size. Simple cameras like you might find on a camera phone have a fixed aperture. This is an opening or hole inside a camera lens and allows light to pass through to the camera’s sensor. To understand what is an f-stop, you need to know what an aperture is. What you really need to know is how can the f-stop help you when taking a photograph. One question that people seem to ask a lot is “what is an f-stop”? Whilst there’s quite a technical answer to this, it’s probably not going to help your photography. Photography has a language all its own and can leave those just starting out with lots of questions.
