THE CAMERA

The Camera 

1) The camera Obscura is achieved by The that acted as the lens, it was focusing and projecting light onto the wall of the dark room.

2) Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens finally understood optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses. 

3) In 1827 Niepe added film to create the first successful photo, the parts where a glass lense, a dark box, and film. 

4) The cameras both have light pass through the lens in the camera, and exposes the film. 

5) Digital cameras use digital film, the camers capture the images with an electronic sensor called a CCD. The photos are stored on a reusable computer memory card. 

Camera Modes

6) Auto mode will control the flash and exposure for you, ( AUTO, A), Program mode is automatic assist, all you have to do is point and shoot. You can control the flash and exposure. (P)

7) Portrait is used for the attempt to blur out the background, how is works is that the camera will use the fastest lens setting available (aperture). 

8) Sports mode is used to freeze the motion in the picture, it works by the camera using the hight shutter speed thats possible. 

The Half Press

9) You should do a half press on the trigger button because it helps you with more control of focus, better composition, and faster camera response time. 

Controlling Flash

10) This symbol means the flash is off, it's disabled. You would this when you don't want a flash to help the mood of the photo be more dramatic. 

11) This symbol means Auto-flash, it's automatically going to flash. This is used by default, it will automatically flash if the camera thinks the photo needs more light. 

Introduction to Exposure

12) When theres too much light the photo will become washed out. 

13) When theres not enough light the photo will become too dark. 

The Universal Stop

14) A stop is a relative change in the brightness of light, it's used in every aspect of photography. 

15) 1 stop 

16) 2 stops 

Shutters and Aperture 

17) A longer shutter speed shines more light through the camera lens. 

18) A shorter shutter speed shows less light through the camera lens. 

19) The aperture controls the light that comes through the camera. It's like a pupil on the camera. 

20) When you adjust the aperture, you can increase the light by setting it on a lower number like f2.8.
