f: Changing the Depth of Field
When using an aperture with a high f/number or shooting in low 
light scenes, note that camera shake can occur.
A higher aperture f/number will make the shutter speed slower. 
Under low light, the shutter speed can be as long as 30 sec. In such 
cases, increase the ISO speed and hold the camera steady or use a 
tripod.
 The depth of field depends not only on the aperture, but also on 
the lens and on the subject distance.
Since wide-angle lenses have a wide depth of...

In low light, the main subject is  exposed with the auto flash metering, 
and the background is exposed with a slow shutter speed set 
automatically. Both the subject  and background look properly exposed 
with a touch of atmosphere (autom...
