Camera History!

1. Inside 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.
2. Lenses created in the 17th century help modernize the camera.
3. A glass lens, a dark box and film were the first pieces of a modern camera.
4. Digital camera's have the same basic concepts as the first camera. Light passes through the lens and exposes the film.
5. Digital camera's use electronic sensors called CCD's and save the photos on there.
6. Auto mode on a camera controls everything itself, while program lets you control flash and a few other functions
7. Portrait mode is used to attempt to blur out the background by using the fastest aperture.
8. Sports mode is to freeze motion, using the highest shutter speed.
9. Only half pressing the shutter button will focus the shot before you take it, to help it not be blurred.
10. The flash off symbol shows that the flash will not happen. When you have good lighting you don't need flash.
11. The auto flash icon show that depending on the lighting, the camera will decide whether or not to use flash. This is good if you do not want to worry about the flash.
12. With too much light a picture becomes washed out.
13. With not enough light a picture becomes too dark.
14. A "stop" is a relative term of light.
15. 1 sun + 1 sun = 1 spot
16. 2 sun + 2 sun = 1 spot (spot = relative to original)
17. Longer shutter speed = more light
18. Shorter shutter speed = less light
19. The aperture also controls the amount of light.
20. The smaller "F-stop" number, the more light shows in the picture.
