The Camera

Camera : device that records images that can be stored directly, transmitted to another location, or both. 

Light : that is visible to the human eye, and is responsible for the sense of sight.

Photograph :image created by light falling on a light-sensitive surface, usually photographic film 

Image Sensor : device that converts an optical image into an electronic signal





Aperture :A space through which light passes in an optical or photographic instrument, esp. the variable opening by which light enters a camera.

Shutter :device that allows light to pass for a determined period of time, for the purpose of exposing photographic film

Exposure :he state of being exposed to contact with something

Depth in field :distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image

F-stop :focal length divided by the "effective" aperture 

Focal Length: measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light.
