Camera History

                                                          The Camera
1.) The "camera obscura" effect is in a dark room, a tiny hole is put in one wall. Light is focused through the hole and the scene outside is projected on the opposite wall.
2.) High quality lenses and optics were invented in the 17th century that helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera.
3.) The parts of the first modern camera were a glass lens, a dark box, and film.
4.) Modern digital cameras are common to Niepce's camera because the process where light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film.
5.) Digital cameras use an electronic sensor called a CCD to capture an image.
                                                         Camera Modes
6.) The difference between Auto mode and Program mode is that with auto mode the camera will completely control flash and exposure. And with Program Mode theres an automatic-assist so you just point and shoot.
7.) The Portrait mode is used for trying to blur out the background so it will use the fastest available lens.
8.) The Sports mode is used for taking fast moving scenes, so the camera uses freeze motion, and will use the highest shutter speed.
                                                          The Half Press
9.) You should do a half press on the trigger button because there is a faster camera response time, more control over focus, and it encourages better composition.
                                                          Controlling Flash
10.) The symbol on the Akins PhotoJ Blog means theres a disabled flash and you would use this at any 
point in which you may not want the flash.
11.) The other symbol on the Akins PhotoJ Blog means the Auto-Flash is enabled and you would use this in many cases if they camera thinks it needs more light.
                                                                            Introduction to Exposure
12.) If there is too much light, your photo will be washed out.
13.) if there is not enough light, your photo will be too dark.                                                                          The Universal Stop
14.) A "stop" is a relative measurement of light.
15.) The new planet is going to be one stop brighter if there are two suns instead of one.
16.) The new planet is going to be two stops brighter if there are four suns instead of two.

                                                       Shutters and Aperture

17.) A longer shutter speed has more light as an affect.

18.) A shorter shutter speed has less light as an affect.

19.) The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the film.

20.) When adjusting the aperture you can increase the amount of light by using the setting "F-stop" which will give larger openings and that will give more light.
