Formula

EV = log₂(N² / t) − log₂(ISO / 100)

N = f‑number  |  t = shutter time (s)

Aperture controls depth of field & light

Aperture Guide

  • 1 Wide (f/1.4–f/2.8): Shallow DOF, low light
  • 2 Medium (f/4–f/8): Balanced, sharp images
  • 3 Narrow (f/11–f/16): Deep DOF, landscapes
  • 4 Very Narrow (f/22+): Maximum DOF, diffraction
