means drawing.
“DRAWING OF LIGHT”
 To date, millions of people around the world
own cameras and enjoy taking pictures. Every year,
more than billion exposures are made with still
cameras. Today's digital technology make it
possible to take photographs without film. This are
called Digital Cameras. Many good pictures have
also been produced using a Smart Phone Camera.
 Why do you think people at times
have the urge of snapping a photo of
something?
 Whether you are using the latest
DSLR (Digital single-lens reflex
camera), a simple point-and-shoot or
built-in camera in your phone, they all
have common parts that you shold know
about.
 PARTS OF CAMERA

LENS - is a part that focuses and directs

incoming lights. A lens can be built in
permanently or interchangeable. The lens is one
of the most vital parts of a camera. The light
enters through the lens, and this is where the
photo process begins.
VIEWFINDER - A small window in
traditional cameras through which you
look with one eye to focus on a picture.
Most point-and-shoot and phone camera
just make use of the LCD screen for the
purpose.
SHUTTER RELEASE
- the button or mechanism that is
pressed, clicked, or tapped to and therefore
enables the ability to capture the image.
IMAGE SENSOR
- The image sensor converts the
optical image to an electronic signal,
which is then sent to your memory card.
MEMORY CARD
- Where the images are stored, comes in
different size and speed capacity.
FLASH
- used to augment lighting when natural
light is low or insufficient. It can sometimes
be useful to provide a bit of extra light
during dim, low light situations.
USER CONTROLS
- The controls on each camera will vary
depending on the model and type. Your basic
digital compacts may only have auto settings
that can be used for different environments.
MONITOR SCREEN
- Frames the image for your picture. The
LCD screen is found on the back of the body
and can vary in size. On DSLRs, the LCD is
mainly for viewing photos after shooting, but
some cameras do have a “live mode” as well.
APERTURE
- The aperture affects the image’s exposure
by changing the diameter of the lens opening,
which controls the amount of light reaching the
image sensor.
