Set the Aperture on a Digital Canon Rebel
The Canon Rebel is a digital single-lens reflex camera that allows users to take photographs based on the size of the lens aperture. You can set the aperture to allow a little or a lot of light into the camera, which gives you the ability to capture both long and short depths of field, and any in between. Setting the aperture on the Rebel can be done in a few quick steps so photographers can catch that great photo.
Instructions
1. Turn the camera on. This will allow you to see the aperture information on the top LCD panel.
2. Turn the mode dial on the top of the camera to "Av." This is the aperture setting.
3. Rotate the main dial, which is a vertical-style dial on top of the camera behind the shutter button. Turning this dial to the left or right will increase or decrease the aperture size by f-numbers, or "f-stops." The aperture readout (or f-stop setting) will display in the top LCD panel and will change as you rotate the dial.
4. Select the aperture setting you desire for the picture. Remember that a larger aperture (lower f-stop number) will let in more light and give the photo a decreased depth of field. A higher f-stop will close the aperture and create a longer depth of field.
