The Camera

1. The "camera obscure" effect was the first camera ever made. It was made by having a tiny hole in the wall which acted like a lens. That hole would then focus and project the light on the wall of the dark room.

2. During the 17th Century an invention called Lenses and Optics help Isaac Newton get closer to the modern camera. 

3. The first modern camera is the made of a glass lens, a dark box, and film.

4.Modern cameras and Niepce's cameras both include some of the same parts, and functions. The light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the camera.

5. Digital cameras use electronic sensors called CCD's to capture an image.

6. The difference between the Auto Mode and the Program mode is that on auto mode, the camera takes complete control of the flash. In program mode you have complete control of the flash.

7. Portrait mode is used for taking portraits of people. It works by blurring out the background, and focusing up close.

8. Sports mode is used for taking photos of things moving fast without having blurry photos. It is used by using the fastest shutter mode.

9. You should do a half press on the trigger button so that you have more control. Also, the camera will have a faster response time.

10. That symbol means that there is no flash. You would use it to turn off the flash.

11. This symbol means that you are in auto flash. You would use this if you did not wan't to mess with the flash, and you wanted the camera to control it.

12. If there is too much light, then your photo will be washed out.

13. If there is too much light, then you photo will be too dark.

14. A "stop" changes the brightness of the light.

15. The new planet would be 1 stop brighter if there were 2 suns.

16. The new planet would be 2 stops brighter if there were 4 suns.

17. The longer shutter of speed would mean more light.

18. The shorter shutter of speed would have less light.

19. The aperture controls the light.

20. When adjusting the capture, you increase the amount of light by making the opening bigger.
