Camera Parts
This part of the camera lets light in and focuses it onto the sensor.
Lens
This setting controls how sensitive your camera is to light. Higher numbers help in low light but add grain/noise
ISO
This is the most important component in photography
Light
You’re shooting a landscape at night without a tripod. The image looks too dark. You want to keep your ISO low. What setting should you change?
Aperture
This component captures the image by converting light into an electronic signal.
Sensor
This setting controls how wide the lens opens to let in light, measured in f numbers like f/2.8
EXTRA: Higher f number means wider lens or narrower lens?
Aperture.
Higher number = narrower lens
Lower number = wider lens
Main difference between Reflex and mirrorless cameras
EXTRA: Name another difference
Having or not having mirrors inside
Size, previsualization, …
You’re taking portraits and love the blurry background. But your photo is too bright. What can you adjust to reduce brightness without adding noise?
Shutter speed
Without this, your camera won’t turn on
Battery
This setting determines how long the camera’s sensor is exposed to light—measured in seconds or fractions of a second.
EXTRA: For sport photography we need at least ___ seconds to freeze the moment
Shutter speed
1/125 seconds
Light particles are called:
Photons
You are outdoors in a sunny day and the pictures are looking too bright. The parameters you are using are: shutter speed 120, aperture f/1.8, ISO 6400.
What is the first parameter you would reduce?
ISO
Small item where the pictures are stored. You can plug it in to your phone through an adapter
Memory card
To get a blurry background in a portrait, you should choose a low or big aperture f number?
Low f number (like f/1.8)
Only “Reflex“ cameras have these inside
Mirrors
These parameters adjust the light in some way
ISO, Shutter speed, Aperture
