Ajith,
Please read the lesson: Lens light and magnification which will definitely clear your doubts. They are not the aperture values but called the f ratios.

Hello,Neil,
I”m a budding photographer I have a doubt regarding lens aperture.In my lenses it is written f4;5.6. It means(best of my knowledge) the lens has a maximum aperture of f4 and minimum of f5.6. In AV mode if I change the aperture f11 how the lens can get it ?
kindly clear my doubt……..

I would like some advice on flash sync speed. I have a Nikon D300 with auto FP sync up to 1/320. I tend to leave the sync speed at that setting as it seems desirable to be able to use faster shutter speeds whenever possible. Is there a downside to using auto FP? Is there a time when I should definitely not use it and use a slower sync speed?

Thanks,
Dave Williams

Could you please explain to me the best way to take pictures of curio cabinet displays? Mirrors are usually involved. Also, along that line, what is the best way to take pictures of museum pieces through glass, plexiglass, etc. Mine tend to be blurry or distorted. Most museums that allow pictures do not allow flashes which also adds to the dilema while trying to take a picture under a protected case.
Thank You.

whether the following action be performed withcano ef-s 55-250mm is lens? i hav a 450d body

Easier over-riding of AF with full-time manual focus
More than half of Canon’s lenses have a neat feature called full-time manual focus*. Even if the lens’s AF/MF switch is in the AF position, these lenses allow the shooter to instantly adjust focus manually by simply turning the focus ring on the lens. There’s no need to first move the switch to MF.

With back-button AF, this becomes a nearly foolproof feature. Use the autofocus whenever you like by pressing the rear button with your right thumb. Shoot whenever you like by pressing the shutter button. And if you want to touch-up focus, or totally over-ride what the AF is doing, just pull your thumb off the rear button and turn the ring. No matter how many pictures you shoot, pressing the shutter button will not cause the AF to try to kick-in and re-set the focus you just adjusted manually

I have some pics in my flashdrive and comp. that were taken w/low resolution. I tried getting them printed and they came out like crap. How can I change the resolution to get a clear printout?

This is probably not for the photography 101 post but i will ask it anyway. I’m editing some outdoor pictures taken on an overcast day by the apprentice of a professional photographer. Some photos have a foggy effect on the top part of the frame, even when it wasn’t foggy that day. (I was there.) It appears that the top part of the photos are overexposed (too bright), while the middle and lower parts are properly exposed. There was even a group shot and one tall guy there looked liked his face was glowing and had a halo on his head, but the rest of the people in the picture were properly lit. Is the camera lens curtain the problem here? I had a hard time fixing it at post. How could this be prevented?

For Eric Carson’s question, Even with an f/2.8 lens, most high school gymnasiums are too dark. I wind up using an SB-800 or SB-900 speedlite for shooting basketball.
