are designed for simplicity and portability.
Advanced Compact Cameras
Advanced compact cameras, also known as premium
compact cameras, offer higher image quality, manual

 Camera

accessories
Camera Lens
Lenses are perhaps the most critical accessories for cameras,
determining factors such as focal length, aperture, and
image quality.
Tripods
Tripods provide stability and support for cameras,
particularly in low-light conditions, long exposures, or when
shooting with heavy equipment.
Camera Bags and Cases
Camera bags and cases protect cameras and
accessories from damage, dust, and weather
elements while providing convenient storage
and transportation.
Memory Cards
Memory cards store digital images and videos
captured by cameras.
Camera Straps
Camera straps provide comfort and security
when carrying cameras around the neck or
shoulder.
External Flashes and Lighting
Equipment
External flashes and lighting equipment
enhance lighting conditions in photography
and filmmaking, providing additional
illumination for better exposure, contrast, and
creative effects.
Filters
Filters attach to the front of camera lenses to modify light
entering the camera, affecting factors such as exposure,
color balance, and contrast.
Battery Grips and Extra Batteries
Battery grips attach to cameras to provide additional battery
power and improve handling and control, particularly for
extended shooting sessions.
Remote Shutter Releases
Remote shutter releases allow photographers to trigger the
camera shutter without physically touching the camera,
reducing the risk of camera shake and enabling hands-free
operation.
Camera

parts
Lens
The lens is the optical component of the camera that focuses
light onto the image sensor or film plane.
Image Sensor
The image sensor converts incoming light into digital
signals, capturing the image produced by the lens.
Shutter
The shutter controls the duration of exposure
by opening and closing to allow light to reach
the image sensor.
Viewfinder
The viewfinder is an optical or electronic
component that allows the photographer to
compose and preview the image before
capturing it.
LCD Screen
The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen
provides a digital display for reviewing
images, navigating camera settings, and
accessing menu options.
Camera Body
The camera body houses and protects the
internal components of the camera, including
the image sensor, shutter mechanism, and
electronic circuitry.
Controls and Buttons
Controls and buttons on the camera body allow users to
adjust settings, change shooting modes, and control
various functions such as focus, exposure, and white
balance.
Battery Compartment
The battery compartment houses the camera's power source,
typically rechargeable batteries or disposable batteries.
Memory Card Slot
The memory card slot allows users to insert removable
memory cards for storing digital images and videos captured
by the camera.
Hot Shoe
The hot shoe is a mounting point on the camera body for
attaching external accessories such as external flashes, flash
triggers, and other lighting equipment.
Lens Mount
The lens mount is the interface between the camera body
and interchangeable lenses, allowing users to attach and
detach lenses as needed.
Mirror
In DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex)
cameras, a mirror reflects light from the lens to
the optical viewfinder, providing a real-time
preview of the scene.
