f numbers
e numbers on the lens barrel indicating the size of the aperture relative to the focal length of the lens. f numbers are calculated by dividing the focal length of the lens by the effective diameter of the aperture.

f numbers
f-stops
A numerical designation (f/2, f 2.8, f3 etc.) indicating the size of the aperture.

"F number" redirects here. For other uses, see F scale.
Diagram of decreasing apertures, that is, increasing f-numbers, in one-stop increments; each aperture has half the light gathering area of the previous one.
Lower f number = wider aperture = more light = shallower depth of field
Higher f number = narrower aperture = less light = greater depth of field ...
What is AV mode, f numbers and aperture settings?
Shutter speed priority and the difference between fast and slow shutter speeds. Shutter speed priority may be represented as a TV setting on your camera.
We talked about aperture and we looked at the relation between aperture and f stop and how aperture/opening changes with f number. We mentioned that large f number = small opening. Let's extend this a little further.
As the values of the f numbers get higher, the amount of depth of field increases. Those that produce the greatest amount of depth of field are f16 and f22. So here’s where it becomes real.
A large opening is a small f number, and a small opening is a large f stop. Lenses are rated in the range of f-stop numbers they can be set to. Pay particular attention to the lowest number.
Large aperture = small f number
Small aperture = larger f number
To make matters even more complicated, modern lenses, sophisticated beasts that they are, are not always physically the same as their focal length.
A large aperture will let in more light and, as with stills cameras, the values are represented as F numbers (the ratio of focal length /diameter of aperture).
> Than pick a small f number. If you want everything in focus, a bigger f number " * Portraits, Faces, and Macro Photography: Any aperture between F1.4 and F5.6 * Landscapes: Any aperture between F11 and F22. Use F22 for maximum sharpness.
Well, it means that the 70-200mm has a maximum f number (aperture) of 2.8 over all of its focal lengths (70-200mm). The 70-300mm has a maximum of f/4 at 70mm, but by the time you get to 300mm the maximum aperture is only f/5.6.
Aperture is measured in 'f numbers' - written f/x where x is the ratio of the focal length to the aperture width. Low f-numbers mean wide apertures letting in more light.
Macro work has a shallow depth of field so you may use higher F numbers like 16. This, however, will build in one problem - a bigger depth of field with more particles present in the water showing up.
4.Play with the aperture (f). Take note that the lower the f number, the larger the aperture. Large apertures are used when you want to focus on the subject and blur out the background. These are especially used when taking portrait and macro shots.
Hi Gina
Try a smaller F number may be something like 2.8 or may be 4, 4.5 but not anything more than that. U will get the background to blur with these F numbers.
In your camera lens, the aperture is measured in f-stop values, written as f numbers in a slash notation. Common f-stops include f/8, f/11 and f/16. The larger number in the f-stop, the smaller the aperture.
Fast lens
Is a lens with a wide maximum aperture ( low f number ).

File Allocation Table. A table that an operating system maintains on a hard disk that provides a map of the clusters that a file has been stored in.
F number: Numbers on the lens which is equivalent to the focal length divided by the diameter of the aperture.
Focal length: The distant between the lens and the position of sharply focused image when the lens is focused at infinity.
The number sequence is printed on the lens barrel, each higher f number halves the exposure of the preceding one.
The f-number itself is effectively the number of times the aperture diameter will divide into the lens focal length.

Almost all new digital cameras use the EXIF annotation, storing information on the image such as shutter speed, exposure compensation, F number, what metering system was used, if a flash was used, ISO number, date and time the image was taken, ...
each change resulting in a doubling or halving of the amount of light transmitted by the lens to the film. The actual value is represents a relationship between the focal length of the lens. f numbers are calculated by dividing the focal length of ...
Lights normally work around one third to half power. Please keep in mind you can always adjust your camera to increase light but opening up the aperture (lower F number) or increase your ISO setting.
6 lets in twice as much; all lenses stopped down to the same f-number produce images of equal illumination (apart from differences due to varying reflection losses); therefore, for a given shutter speed, a given f number always corresponds to the ...
