What does the aperture control in photography?

C) Increase the camera's sensitivity to light
D) Change the color balance
A faster shutter speed (e.g., 1/1000) is used to:
What is the effect of a slower shutter speed (e.g., 1/30)?

A large aperture (low f-stop) affects depth of field by:
Creating a larger depth of field

D) f/22
Which combination would most likely create a well-exposed image in low-light conditions?
A) f/2.8, 1/500, ISO 100
B) f/5.6, 1/60, ISO 1600
C) f/8, 1/125, ISO 100
D) f/16, 1/1000, ISO 400
A shutter speed of 1/15 is most likely to:

Make an image darker
What does increasing the aperture number (e.g., f/11 to f/16) do to the image?
Lets in more light
