Diaphgram

The Diaphgram is what determines the apertures in a camera, and their size. It is a round device, and it is important to make sure that light only enters on the camera lenses through its aperture. It limits the passage of light, so it is fundamental to take a good picture that is not too bright or too dark. The more open the diaphragm is, the larger the diameter and the larger the amount of light that will enter the camera.

The smaller the diaphragm aperture is, the smaller the amount of light that will get to the image sensor. The diaphragm aperture is measured in a “Focus” (F) scale. So the larger the F number, the smaller the aperture, reducing the amount of light coming into the picture. The smaller the F number, the larger the diaphragm aperture and the bigger the amount of light we will be working with.
