ApertureApertureOpening in the lens that can change size to let varying amounts of light through to the sensor.
Measured by f/stop, it is expressed as a fraction. For example…an f/stop of f/4 is a larger opening than f/16 in the same way the fraction ¼ is larger than 1/16. The larger the opening, the more light is allowed in.

Depth of FieldDepth of Field• Distance between the nearest and farthest objects in acceptable focus.
Affected by the aperture setting. A wide aperture setting like f/2.8 means less depth of field. A narrow aperture such as f/16 means more of the scene will be in sharp focus.

ShutterShutter• Shutter – allows light to pass to the film/sensor for a set amount of time.
• Shutter speed – exposure time, how long the shutter allows light to hit the sensor between pressing the shutter release and the actual capture of the photograph.
• Faster shutter speed (like 1/2000 sec.) freezes actions. Slower shutter speed like (1/5 sec.) blurs movement.
