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.

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.
Things we would need to know about their SQF numbers would be:
A.) Are they always measured the same way from year to year so we can compare old to new, or do they change as lenses get better and worse over time?
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 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).
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.
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.
What it does mean is that a photographer needs to understand some of the details behind DOF to interpret the DOF numbers given by DOF devices and to use that information to properly estimate the DOF for a specific application.

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.
Newcomers to photography will find some confusion when they realize that "better" lenses have "lower" f numbers. As long as we're talking sports, let's just compare this to the game of golf. The winner is the golfer who posts the lowest score.
By getting closer to your subject, more of the image to be out of focus when using a low F number. Likewise, by focussing on an object further away, you can increase the range of what is in focus for higher F numbers.
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 ...
