Basic DSLR Functions
'Av' Mode
'Av' stands for "Aperture Value" which allows the user to select the f-stop (aperture) of the lens with the camera then selecting the
corresponding shutter speed. A small f-stop actually opens the lens wider and a large f-stop closes the lens.
The quality of the lens will dictate the f-stops that can be used, the better the lens the lower the f-stop. If the f-stop is set at the
lowest possible setting for the lens this will give a shallow depth of field resulting in the object being in focus and the background blurred. If the f-stop is set
higher this will give a deeper focus resulting in more of the image in focus.
At f/32, the background competes for the viewer’s attention. (Wikipedia) | At f/5.6, the flowers are isolated from the background. (Wikipedia) |
