Understanding Aperture
You can adjust the aperture value to control the amount of light
reaching the image sensor. The smaller the aperture value, the greater
the amount of light. For example, F1.8 lets in more light than F2.8.
You need to adjust the aperture value in the following cases:
When you are shooting against the light or when the background
is too bright.
When you are shooting on a reflective natural background such as
at the beach or when skiing.
When the background is overly dark (for example, scenery at
night).
