Aperture’s role in photography.

There are three main settings you can adjust to get the exposure you want when taking pictures: shutter speed, ISO, and aperture. In digital photography, camera technology now features modes that can help adjust those settings for you. One of those modes is aperture priority. With it, the photographer selects a specific aperture value and the camera autoselects the proper shutter speed based on how much light it detects.

Sometimes called auto mode, when the photographer selects program mode the camera autoselects both aperture and shutter speed.

The photographer is responsible for adjusting both the aperture and shutter speed in this mode.
