The Camera

1. The camera obscure effect was created when in a completely dark room there is a small hole made in one wall. Light is focused through the hole and upside down on the opposite wall the outside scene is projected. Camera obscure means "dark room" in Latin.
2. Issac Newton and Christian Huygens perfected the understanding of optics and the whole process of creating high quality glass lenses.
3. Niepce added the film and the parts were the film, dark box, and glass lens.
4. Light passes through the lens, into the camera, and exposes the film. The end result is still a photograph
5. Digital cameras capture the images with an electronic sensor called a CCD. Photographs are stored on reusable computer memory devices.
6. The auto mode is when he camera will completely control flash and exposure. On most cameras this is labelled "auto", on others simply "A". While the program mode is automatic-assist, just point and shoot. Unlike full auto mode, you can usually control flash and a few other camera settings.
7. The portrait mode is used to attempt to blur out the background, camera will try to use the fastest available lens setting(aperture). 
8. The sports mode if used to freeze motion, camera will use the highest shutter speed possible.
9. The half press should be used to allow for faster response time, control over the focus of the camera, and have better composition.
10. This symbol means that flash is disabled and should be used when the natural lighting makes the mood of the photograph more dramatic. 
11. This symbol means that the auto-flash is on and will be used by the camera based on the camera's judgment of whether there needs to be more light or not.
12. If there is too much light than it will cause the photo to be washed out. 
13. If there isn't enough life in a picture the photo will be too dark.
14. A "stop" is a relative change in the brightness of light.
15. If there are two suns instead of one then there will be it will be one stop brighter.
16. If there are four suns instead of two it will be two stops brighter.
17. A longer shutter speed has the affect of more light.
18. A shorter shutter speed has the affect of less light.
19. The aperture controls how much light passes through beofr it reaches the film.
20. Light can be increased by adjusting  the "Aperture Opening" settings to a larger number of openings.
