Camera History

1. The "camera obscure" effect is when in a completely dark room, a tiny hole is created in one wall. Through the hole light is focused, and the outside scene is projected (upside down) on the opposite wall. This effect is achieved because the hole acts like a lens, focusing and projecting light onto the wall of the dark room.

2. Optics and high quality glass lenses.

3. A glass lens, a dark box, and film were the parts of the first modern camera.

4. Modern digital cameras are similar to Niepce's camera in the way that they both contain glass lenses, film, and they were both capable of taking pictures by a light passing through a lens, into the camera, and exposed to film.

5. Electronic sensors (CCD)

6. The Auto Mode in a camera completely controls the flash and exposure, and with the Program Mode you can just point and shoot and control the flash and a few other camera settings on your own.

7. Portrait Mode is used as an attempt to blur out the background, which works by the camera trying to use the fastest available lens setting (aperture).

8. Sports Mode is used to freeze motion, and is capable by the camera using the highest shutter speed possible.

9. You should do a half-press on the trigger button to have the camera focus on the scene you want to shoot.

10. There is no flash.

11. The flash is set to automatically go off when taking a picture.

12. If there is too much light in a photo then the picture will be washed out.

13. If there is not enough light for the photo then the picture will be too dark.

14. A "stop" is the relative change in the brightness of light. 

15. 1 stop

16. 2 stop

17. A longer shutter speed allows less light to the film.

18. A shorter shutter speed allows more light to enter into the film.

19. The aperture on a camera controls light.

20. To increase the amount of light you need to decrease the number of F-Stop, or make it smaller.
