The camera will respond by changing the shutter speed (or ISO or both). He can start with wide apertures (small numbers) and stop down from there (larger f numbers, smaller aperture). With wider apertures he'll have softer backgrounds that are out of focus. With smaller apertures (larger f numbers) he'll have greater depth of field and backgrounds in focus. In this way, he'll know exactly what the camera is doing. Having everything in focus is more documentary, having out of focus backgrounds is more artistic. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Congrats to your friend!</p></blockquote><p></p>
