A camera has many different parts, but some of the most important ones include:
- Lens: The lens focuses light onto the image sensor or film. The quality of the lens is a major factor in the quality of the image.
- Image sensor or film: This is the light-sensitive surface that captures the image.
- Aperture: The aperture is the opening of the lens that controls the amount of light that enters the camera.
- Shutter: The shutter is a mechanism that controls how long the image sensor or film is exposed to light.
- Viewfinder: The viewfinder is a small window that allows you to see what the camera is going to capture.
- Flash: The flash is a device that provides a burst of light to illuminate the scene when there is not enough natural light.
