What to Focus On
- A camera captures images by controlling light.
- Overexposure happens when too much light enters; underexposure when too little.
- Shutter and aperture are the two main light controllers.
- Viewfinder helps in framing the image.
- Shutter release button triggers the photo capture.
- Lens focuses light and forms a sharp image.
- Lenses control angle of view and magnification.
- Wide-angle lens: short focal length, broad view.
- Telephoto lens: long focal length, magnifies distant objects.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The camera sensor or film captures the image instantly, so shutter speed doesn’t really matter.
Aperture is the same as shutter speed — both control how much light enters the camera.
A zoom lens means the camera can see farther, like a telescope, so it’s always better than a prime lens.
Memory Tips
The two main components that control light in a camera: Shutter and Aperture
Shutter controls the duration of light entry
Aperture controls the amount of light, like a tap
Overexposure results in a white, detail-less photo
