Well to be basic basic. Aperture and shutter speed are the 2 things which work hand in hand to give you pictures with impact. Both these things control the amount of light which hits your digital sensors or your film.
As you know the amount of light which will hit your sensors or film depend on how much the shutter is open and for how long it is open. So these things do exactly that.
Aperture= How much the shutter will open
shutter= for how long it will open
This is just the basic. But one more thing about the aperture is that the bigger the aperture (F#) the less it will open but the effect will be more "Depth of Field" ( which basically means the objects which will be in focus from the nearest point to the furthest.
Anyways I hope this helped...if you need more info pls. feel free to mail me on dum_must@hotmail.com
and oh yeah do play with the camera...they like it!!
