Q

What does an Aperture/F-Stop do?

A

Along with the shutter and ISO, an aperture helps regulate how much light enters the camera lens; if the hole is larger, more light will enter, and if it is smaller, less light will enter (the smaller the F-stop #, the more light can enter).

Q

What causes Red-Eye in photos?

A

When the flash fires, light reflects off the blood in the capillaries in the back of the subject’s eyes and back into the camera lens because of the subjects close proximity to the camera lens, which causes light from the subject to be reflected directly back at the camera.
