APERTURE
Our pupils can be related to the camera's aperture.
The smaller the Aperture is, the higher the Aperture's f-stop value.
The smaller the aperture gets, the more depth of field camera can capture
The Canon Rebel T3 has F4.5, F5, F5.6, F6.3, F7.1, F8, F9, F10, F11, F13, F14, F16, F18, F20, F22, F25, and F29

Three mode: Auto, Shutter Priority, and Manual.
Auto mode automatically sets the shutter. Shutter Priority and Manual let you set the shutter manually but for Shutter Priority, the aperture is on auto mode.
Canon Rebel T3 has the following settings for shutter speed:
BULB, 30", 25", 20", 15", 13", 10", 8", 6", 5", 4", 3"2, 2"5, 2", 1"6, 1"3, 1", 0"8, 0"6, 0"5, 0"4, 0"3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/13, 1/15,1/20, 1/25, 1/30, 1/40, 1/50, 1/60, 1/80, 1/100,1/125, 1/160, 1/200, 1/250, 1/320, 1/400, 1/500, 1/640, 1/800, 1/1000, 1/1250, 1/1600, 1/2000, 1/250, 1/3200, and 1/4000 .
ISO
- You can take advantage of higher ISO during night sporting event, because the higher the ISO, the more sensitive it is toward lights.
- Using low ISO is best when you want to retain the best quality of a picture, when there's good lightning.
- ISO should be increased when there is not enough lightning to be able to quickly capture an image.
- Canon Rebel T3 has ISO of; auto, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600.
SIM CAM
- F2.8 looks best at 1/125th of a second shutter speed. There is no background visible because its very blurry.
- F4 looks best at 1/125th of a second shutter speed. The background is not visible still but you can see a little bit of the dark windows.
- F5.6 looks best at 1/60th of a second. The background still isn't very visible but you are able to see the color of the walls of the background mixing up.
- F8 looks best at 1/60th of a second. The background is visible at some point because you can tell that it's a building behind them.
- F11 looks best at 1/60th of a second. Background is visible at some point where its just a background while the couple is the main subject.
- F16 looks best at 1/30th of a second. The background looks really great at this aperture because you can mostly see it but the couple still stands out.
- F22 looks best at 1/15th of a second. The background is very visible at this aperture, you are able to see whats going on behind the couple.
The slower the shutter speed is, the more blurry the couple is. To combat this problem you can change the ISO or the aperture to match with the selected shutter speed. The lowest shutter speed the photographer can hold the camera is right at the best list of speed I listed above under the circumstances of different aperture.
