Components
of a digital camera and equipment
Features
of a digital cameras is that when you click the button to take the picture on a
digital camera, an aperture opens up at the front of the camera. Once this
happens a light shines in through the lens of the camera. There is an electronic equipment within the
digital camera called CCD which captures the light rays and turns them into
electrical signals.
This is an example of a digital Camera which I found on
google images be searching Camera and I took it from this website http://www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Cameras/b?ie=UTF8&node=560836
Manual
mode is a function in a camera that allows you to have complete control over
everything for example zooming in and out or focusing, you
can adjust the focus of the cameras lens by hand. A camera lens also
known as photographic lens or photographic objective is an optical lens or assembly
of lenses used in conjunction with a camera body and mechanism to make images of objects either on
photographic or on other media capable of
storing an image electronically on the camera..

DSLR is a device in a
camera that uses mirrors in the camera to direct what you are taking a photo of
to your eyes so that you know what your photograph is going to look like and be
of. Automatic mode in a camera is where you don’t have control over certain
things of the camera such as the lens aperture and the shutter speed because it
is all automatic doing it by itself. However some drawbacks is that you might
want control over the camera for example if you’re in a location with poor
lighting you want to adjust the camera to make it brighter it would require you
to use manual mode however if you’re in a situation where you want to take a
photo which is focused and still then using automatic mode would be the best.

You can also take photographs on smartphones and advantages of this are that
they are very light and portable allowing you to just take them out to take a
photograph at any time of day in addition to this there are a huge amount of
apps dedicated to photography which allow you to tweak exposure and add frames,
add filters remove colour or even create slow motion movies. However some
disadvantages is that they will not have as good quality or storage as a
camera. The viewfinder in a camera is what you look
through when you are going to take a picture of something It is the main
optical system. The lens of a camera is what allows the camera to be able to
view everything it is the eyes of the camera that allows you to look at
throught. Cameras will always have memory cards which are devicies put into the
camera that store the data from lots of different photos, when it memory card
is full it prevents you taking any more pictures. So you are required to change
the memory card with a new one and if you would like to keep all the pictures
you can download them from you memory card oin computes etc.

Cameras also have a device called the Flash, this is a
great feature to a camera as it illuminates dark places. For example if you was
taking a photo in dark lighting or outside at night time then the camera would
produce a flash to create light for a split second so that when the photo is
taken it is clear and brighter than it would be if it was just taken as an
ordinary picture. There is also a feature known as the photograph's exposure this determines
how light or dark your picture will appear once it has been taken by your camera. So this allows you to determine if you should take the
shot or not and adjust the settings. There are also cameras which are called
colour cameras, a camera of a special design for making
colour-separation. For example maybe your picture has come out red and bright
because of the background well the colour camera allows you to remove certain colours
so you could remove or even add colours to be in your photograph. Lighting is the
illumination of scenes to be photographed. A photograph records light, colour, and shade;
lighting is important in
controlling the image. In many cases even illumination is desired to give an
accurate photograph of the scene you’re capturing. In a camera there is a setting called
the White Balance setting and it lets you choose or change the colour in your
pictures. You can make the colours brighter to make it look warmer, or darker
to make it look colder etc. Your camera’s White Balance gives you more control
over colour.
Hand-held cameras also known as hand-held shooting is a filmmaking and video production technique. The camera is held in the operator's
hands instead of being put onto a tripod or other base. . In photography, a tripod is used to stabilize and elevate a camera, a flash unit, or other photographic equipment. All
photographic tripods have three legs and a mounting head to
couple with a camera. Hand-held cameras are used because they are sized for
travel so you can take them almost anywhere. In addition to this hand held
cameras also allow greater freedom of motion during filming. However a tripod would be heavy and hard to carry
around meaning you have less freedom of motion when filming and you cannot
really travel with then as you do with handheld cameras
