1:08 you need a smaller F number (larger aperture)

1:15 you need a higher F number (small aperture) to get more depth of field as opposed to what he said (higher aperture)

[guluchak]

ur totally wrong about aperture

its a totally different concept wen u take a photo u need aperture according to the outside light!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

you can't define a term with itself. simply put Aperture is the size of the hole in your lens {not camera}. it can be made bigger and smaller.  The bigger the hole, the smaller the number. If you think in terms of fractions it makes more sense... ie: 1/2 is larger than 1/16, right? now just remove the {standard or} one from the front of the fraction... makes it easier to remember.

Indeed. You are correct. What I should have said is a lower F-stop for less depth of field and higher F-stop for greater depth of field.
