how photography and cameras work















This part of a camera is called......
1. Shutter
2. Aperture
3. f-stop


A DSLR or Digital Single Lens Reflex camera





To focus correctly using auto focus, compose your photo by looking through the viewfinder. 

While holding your camera on the most important part of the photo, press the shutter button half way down. When the camera is focused, you will see a red  dot or rectangle and hear a beep.  

To take the photo, press the shutter button all the way down. 


An SD Card (Secure Digital Card) is an ultra small flash memory card designed to provide high-capacity memory in a small size. SD cards are used in many small portable devices such as digital video camcorders, digital cameras, handheld computers, audio players and mobile phones.

ISO setting: In digital photography ISO measures the sensitivity of the image sensor; the lower the number the less sensitive your camera is to light. If your light source is bright, such a a sunny day, you can use a lower ISO than if your light source is low, such as a dimly lit restaurant.
