Camera Basics

A camera is an optical device used to capture and record images or videos. It consists of several essential components, including a lens, an image sensor, and a mechanism to control the amount of light entering the camera, such as an aperture. The lens focuses incoming light onto the image sensor, which converts the light into an electrical signal that represents the captured image. Cameras come in various types, such as digital, film, or smartphone cameras, and offer different features and settings to control aspects like exposure, focus, and shutter speed. Understanding camera basics allows photographers and enthusiasts to effectively capture and manipulate images according to their artistic vision and technical requirements
