F-Stop Variations

Highest F-Stop

This setting narrows the aperture of the camera, allowing less light into the photo, creating a blurry background and enhancing the focus on the individual or item in the foreground. This type of photography is good for portraits when the background is not the focus.

Mid range F-Stop

This F-stop setting is good for landscape photography when there is not significant distance between the foreground, mid ground and background. This setting is also good for close-up photography.

Lowest F-Stop

This setting increases the aperture of the camera, allowing more light to enter the camera lens which creates a greater depth of field. This type of photography is good for enhancing the surroundings of the picture and not just focusing on an individual or item in the foreground.
