Answer 1

When looking into the viewfinder of an SLR camera, you are looking through the lens via a mirror that blocks the shutter mechanism, which in turn blocks the film. In most modern SLRs, the aperture of the lens is stopped wide open when you are focusing and composing the image. This allows the brightest possible viewfinder image. In older cameras with 'manual stop down lenses' you would have to set the lens aperture to its widest setting while focusing and composing, and then manually change the aperture to your intended exposure setting before releasing the shutter. In modern SLRs, the aperture setting can be set for you automatically.
