shutter speed automatically to obtain the correct exposure suiting the
subject brightness. This is called aperture-priority AE.
A higher f/number (smaller aperture hole) will make more of the
foreground and background fall within acceptable focus. On the other
hand, a lower f/number (larger aperture hole) will make less of the
foreground and background fall within acceptable focus.
