What is the significance of aperture and depth of field? Answer concisely in 2-3 sentences.
91 chars

Generation

Aperture controls how much light enters the camera and directly affects depth of field—the range of distance that appears sharp in an image. A wider aperture (lower f-number) creates a shallow depth of field with blurred backgrounds, ideal for portraits, while a narrower aperture (higher f-number) keeps more of the scene in focus, preferred for landscapes.
