The Camera

1. The "camera obscura" was achieved by using the hole for a lens while projecting light into the dark wall space.
2. In the 17th century, high quality glass lenses helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera.
3. The parts of the first modern camera were, film, a dark box and a glass lens.
4. Modern digital cameras are common to Niepce's camera because they all still have light passing through the lens.
5. To capture an image, digital cameras use an electric sensor, a CCD.
6. The difference between the Auto mode and program mode is that auto completely controls and exposes, and program mode is automatic assist, you just point and shoot.
7. The portrait mode is used for trying to blur your background, this happens by using the fastest lens setting.
8. The sports mode is used to get action shots, and this is done by using the highest shutter speed setting on the camera.
9. A half press on the trigger button should be used so that the auto focus is for sure focused on the main subject of the photo.
10. The disabled flash symbol would be used to turn off the flash, and you' do this so that there is natural light in the photo.
11. The auto flash symbol on the camera mean that any time it detects a small amount of light, the flash will automatically go off. You'd use this most of the time on the camera.
12. The picture may appear washed out and dull when there is too much light.
13. However, if the setting is too dark, the photo will also appear dark.
14. In photography, the term "stop" is used to express how little or how much light in the photo.
15. If there were 2 suns on a planet, that planet would be one stop brighter than Earth.
16. If there were 4 suns on a planet, that planet would be 2 stops brighter than the planet with 2 suns.
17. If you are using a longer shutter speed, there will be more light in the photo.
18.  If you are using a shorter shudder speed, there will be less light in the photo.
19. The aperture control changes the aperture opening for more light or less light.
20. When adjusting the aperture, you can increase the amount of light by making the shutter speeds longer.
