Determine aperture value 
 
• When the aperture value is 
increased, the range of depth in 
focus expands, and the picture 
shows up clearly from the position 
of the camera to the background.
 
• When the aperture value is 
reduced, the range of depth 
in focus shrinks, and the 
background can get blurry.
 
• When the picture is too bright 
or too dark or there is incorrect 
exposure, the numbers for the 
aperture value and shutter speed 
are shown in red.
