The Camera

The Camera

1. The "camera obscura" effect was the first form of a camera. It's achieved by light coming through a hole in a dark box.
2. The invention of high quality glass lenses and understanding optics helped get closer to creating the modern camera.
3. The part of the first modern camera created by Niepce was the film. The actual camera was made of a glass lens, a dark box and the film.
4. Modern cameras and Niepce's camera is that both of them have light passing through the lens, into the camera  and exposes the film.
5. Digital cameras catch photos with an electronic sensor called a CCD.

Camera Modes

6. The difference between Auto mode and program mode is that Auto mode completely controls flash and exposure and Program mode you can control flash and some other camera settings.
7. The Portrait mode is used to blur out the background and uses the fastest lens setting (aperture) .
8. The Sports mode is used to freeze motion, and it uses the fastest shutter speed possible.

Half Press

9. We should half press down on the trigger because 1). it helps the camera focus on your subject and 2). it causes the camera to respond quicker.

Controlling Flash 
 
10. This symbol is called the Disabled Flash. This means that there is no flash, you would use this when you don't want the flash or when you want the natural lighting to make the picture look more dramatic.



11.This symbol is called the Auto-Flash. Auto-Flash is a default that will automatically turn on flash if it thinks that the picture needs more lighting.

Introduction to Exposure

12. If there is too much light the "picture will be washed out."
13. If there is not enough light then your picture will come out too dark.

The Universal Stop

14. A "stop" is used in every aspect of photography to show the change in the brightness of light.
15. The new planet is one stop if there are two suns.
16. The new planet is two stops if there are four suns.

Shutters and Apertures

17.Longer shutter speed causes there to be more light.
18. Shorter shutter speed causes there to be less light.
19. The aperture controls light.
20. When you adjust the aperture, you can increase the amount of light with smaller F-stops numbers which creates larger openings.
