This is usually controlled by the camera's light meter, although some cameras have a manual aperture control. Altering the aperture also changes the depth of field.   Artefacts : When an image is stored in your camera's memory it has to be compressed to fit, usually into a JPEG file, and in the process some information is inevitably lost. When the image is uncompressed for viewing, noise creeps in and appears as angular blocks in the image, which are known as artefacts. Auto-focus : Almost all digital cameras have automatic focusing. There are essentially two types: contrast detection, used in compact cameras and most CSCs, uses the camera's main sensor and works by detecting the borders between high-contrast areas and trying to make them as sharp as possible.
