By that I mean, turn your aperture setting to the lowest number your lens will allow you to go. If you are wondering what aperture is, I think of it as how open my camera’s “eye” is. The lower the number, the wider the opening in your lens is and more light is allowed in. There are other factors that come into play with this, like depth of field, but I don’t want to worry about that right now. We can discuss at a later date.

Where the aperature is at a lower setting and the focus is on the Nerf gun - that's a a good example of the use of aperature. Had the aperature been set at say f11 or so, then the nerf gun and the boy's face would both be in focus... and maybe you don't want that for this particular shot. The ISO and shutter speed are also noteworthy being that this is an indoor/low light setting.
