History of the Camera and it's Basic Functions
1. The camera obscura effect was the first camera. The camera obscura effect was created by Chinese and Greek philosophers around 500 BCE. In a pitch black room, a very small hole was created on one wall. Light would shine through the hole, and the picture was projected upside down on the opposite wall. The hole was the "lens" because it projected light into a dark room which created the image photographers were looking for.
2. The process of Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens making high quality lenses and understanding optics helped develop the new modern cameras we use today.
3. The glass lens, a dark box and film were all parts of the modern camera which was invented by Niepce.
4. Modern digital cameras are similar to Niepce's camera because light still goes through the lens into the camera and exposes the film! The result is still the same too- a photograph!
5. Digital cameras use digital film to capture an image.
6. While the auto mode is in complete control of exposure and flash, the program mode lets you point and shoot pictures while still choosing some settings like flash.
7. Portrait mode is used to blur out the background and the camera will try to use the fastest available lens setting.
8. The sports mode is used to freeze motion, and the camera will use the fastest shutter speed possible.
9. In manual mode, the photographer has to set the shutter and aperture modes.
10. Doing a half press on a trigger button because it gives you a faster response time, more control over focus and it encourages better composition.
11. The symbol means there will be no flash if you take a picture and I would use it when I want to change the mood of my photograph.
12. Automatic flash adds flash to a photo automatically if light is needed. I would use this at night time events or in dark places.
13. If there is too much light in a photo, the picture will become washed out.
14. If there is not enough light in a photo, the picture will be way too dark.
15. A stop is a relative measurement of light.
16. The planet is one stop brighter.
17. The planet is two stops brighter.
18. A long shutter speed will bring more light into the photo.
19. A shorter shutter speed will decrease the amount of light in a photo.
20. The aperture controls the brightness in a picture.
21. When adjusting the aperture you can increase the amount of light by putting the setting on smaller F-Stops.
