An example of the use of f-numbers in photography is the sunny 16 rule: an approximately correct exposure will be obtained on a sunny day by using an aperture of f /16 and the shutter speed closest to the reciprocal of the ISO speed of the film; for example, using ISO 200 film, an aperture of f /16 and a shutter speed of 1 ⁄ 200 second. The f ...
Illuminance is measured using a flat sensor; if the common value of C = 250 (unit: lux s ISO=lm s/m 2 ISO) is used, an EV of zero (e.g., an aperture of f /1 and a shutter time of 1 sec) for ISO = 100 corresponds to an illuminance of 2.5 lux (0.23 fc).
[note 2] For any given ISO setting and coverage angle however, an inherently more powerful flash device featuring a guide number that is, for instance, twice as great will permit subjects to be properly exposed from twice as far away for any given f‑stop, or conversely, will permit scenes at a given distance to be properly exposed at an f ...
Sunlit subject shot on a digital camera set to ISO 100, exposed at f/8 at 1/400 second which is the same exposure value as f/16 for 1/100 second, the recommended "sunny 16" exposure. In photography, the sunny 16 rule (also known as the sunny f /16 rule) is a method of estimating correct daylight exposures without a light meter. Apart from the ...
The basic rule is: "For astronomical photos of the Moon's surface, set aperture to f /11 and shutter speed to the [reciprocal of the] ISO film speed [or ISO setting]." [1] With ISO 100, the photographer should set the shutter speed to 1/100 or 1/125 second. (On some cameras, 1/125 second is the available setting nearest to 1/100 second.)
Many digital cameras have a display setting and possibly a physical dial whereby the photographer can set the camera to either over or under expose the subject by up to three f-stops in 1/3 stop intervals. Each number on the scale (1,2,3) represents one f-stop, decreasing the exposure by one f-stop will halve the amount of light reaching the ...

For example, f /8 lets four times more light into the camera as f /16 does. A shutter speed of 1 ⁄ 50 s with an f /4 aperture gives the same exposure value as a 1 ⁄ 100 s shutter speed with an f /2.8 aperture, and also the same exposure value as a 1 ⁄ 200 s shutter speed with an f /2 aperture, or 1 ⁄ 25 s at f /5.6.
