Camera History

1.The "camera obscura" which is Latin, means "dark room" was the first camera. The hole acted like a lens, focussing and projecting light onto the wall of the dark chamber.

2.Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens understood optics and how to make high quality glass lenses.

3.A glass lens, a dark box, and film.

4.Light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film. In the end you still get a picture.

5.With an electronic sensor called a CCD.

6. Auto - The camera will completely control flash and exposure. On most cameras this is labelled "auto", on others simply "A". Some cameras only have (P)rogram.

Program - automatic-assist, just point and shoot. Unlike full auto mode, you can usually control flash and a few other camera settings.

7. Portrait - To attempt to blur out the background, camera will try to use the fastest available lens setting (aperture).

8. Sports - To freeze motion, camera will use the highest shutter speed possible.

9. The "half-pressed" button is helpful in many ways, including:
faster camera response time
more control over focus
encourages better composition

10. This symbol means Disabled Flash. There are many cases where you may not want flash at all. The mood of the photograph can sometimes be more dramatic when the natural light is used.

11. This symbol means Auto-Flash. In most camera modes, Auto-flash is enabled by default and will automatically fire if the camera thinks it needs more light.

12. Too much light and the picture will be washed out.

13. Not enough light and the picture will be too dark.

14. The term "stop" is used in every aspect of photography to represent a relative change in the brightness of light.

15. 1 stop brighter

16. 2 stops brighter

17. A longer shutter speed has more light.

18. A shorter shutter speed has less light.

19. The amount of light that goes through

20. You can increase the amount of light by having a larger opening
