• Aperture numbers relate to
how much light is STOPPED
from entering.
• Aperture 3 stops a
small
amount of light
• Aperture 22 stops a
large
amount of light
• Aperture 3 allows more light
which results in a bright

Aperture works like an open
window, allowing a large
amount, or small amount of
light into the camera.
