Exposure, in digital or film Photography, is determined by aperture and shutter speed. On a manual camera, the user selects both values.
On an automatic camera, there are four possibilities:
- Manual mode. User selects both aperture and shutter speed.
- Shutter priority. User picks the shutter speed and the camera adjusts the aperture to ensure proper exposure.
- Aperture priority. User picks the aperture and the camera adjusts the shutter speed to ensure proper exposure.
- Program mode. The camera selects both values.

What are manual cameras?
A manual camera is a camera that does not have any automated functions, like film transport that winds the film, or exposure modes like shutter or aperture priority. Most manual cameras also do not have auto-focus capability.
What is exposure in a digital camera?
Exposure is the combination of shutter speed and aperture used to expose the image sensor in a digital camera. When the image sensor receives the right amount of light, your picture comes out correctly exposed. The camera's light meter determines how big to open the aperture (the hole to allow light in) and for how long (the shutter speed). If the image sensor receives less light than it requires, your picture comes out under-exposed. If the image sensor receives more light than it requires, your picture comes out over-exposed.
What is camera aperture?

What part of a camera controls the amount of light that enters the camera?
The functional opening is the aperture, the opening that controls the amount of light that hits the photosensitive surface. You may have a camera with interchangeable lenses that screw into and out of the camera's body. The opening into which the lens is screwed is not the aperture.
How would you set the ISO for shutter speed and aperture for correct exposure on a rainy day and why?
The ISO speed, shutter, and aperture are all interconnected. There is never necessarily one "correct" setting for all 3. However, if you're not shooting on a tripod, you probably want to set your shutter speed to 1/60 to reduce camera shake. To eliminate grain, you may want to keep your ISO below 400. It may be cloudy on a rainy day, so you may be able to shoot at f/8 or f/11. Of course, on most digital cameras you could select a shutter priority (meaning the camera will adjust the aperture for correct exposure at a shutter speed of 1/60) and then set your ISO to 400. The camera will automatically meter the scene and set the aperture correctly.
Can you use a aperture on a digital camera?

What is aperture priority in photography?
Aperture priority lets you set the aperture you want and the camera sets the shutter speed for you. You use it when you want to control depth of field. Shutter priority lets you set the shutter speed you want and the camera sets the aperture for you. You use it when you want to control how motion is rendered in the photograph. Program mode sets both shutter speed and aperture for you. Use it when you are not concerned with aperture or shutter speed control.
What camera mode is best for shallow depth of field photography?
Manual or Aperture Priority.
When you use the aperture function?
Aperture priority is the use of your aperture setting on your camera has priority over the speed priority setting. You want to use your aperture priority in the case of areas with low lighting, while your speed priority settings are set for action photos, such as sporting events. Of course, you also have to take into consideration the ISO of your film. The lower your ISO the likelier you want to use your aperture priority, while the higher the ISO, the higher likely you're going to use your speed priority.

Can you get a shallow depth of field with a digital point and shoot You should be able to if it has an aperture setting and or manual or does it depend on the lens?
If you set your camera to aperture priority (usually the "A" on the program dial) and select a large aperture, say, f2 to f4, then the resulting image will have less depth of field than at, say, f11. The lens always affects how wide you can open the aperture, but the depth of field is not dependant on the lens other than this.
