Description

An f‑number (ƒ/#) or f‑stop refers to the ratio of a lens’s focal length to its aperture’s diameter (lens opening vs focal length) and indicates the amount of IR energy (heat) coming through the lens to the infrared sensor. The lower the f-number the larger the aperture diameter, meaning more thermal IR energy is reaching the infrared sensor.
