Camera
A camera is a device used to capture images, either as photographs or videos. It works by collecting light through a lens and projecting it onto a sensor (in digital cameras) or film (in traditional cameras).
Main Types of Cameras:
1. Digital Cameras
• DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex): Professional, interchangeable lenses, high quality.
• Mirrorless Cameras: Compact, no mirror system, still very high quality.
• Point-and-Shoot: Small, automatic, simple to use.
• Action Cameras (e.g., GoPro): Tiny, durable, for sports/adventures.
• 360 Cameras: Capture full spherical views.
2. Film Cameras
• Use photographic film instead of digital sensors.
• Includes vintage SLR and compact film cameras.
3. Smartphone Cameras
• Built into phones, very popular for daily use.
Key Parts of a Camera:
• Lens – Focuses light.
• Sensor/Film – Records the image.
• Shutter – Controls exposure time.
• Aperture – Controls light amount and depth of field.
• Viewfinder/Screen – Lets you see and frame the shot.
