    Basic Photography Lessons - Parts of a

    Camera

    A digital camera contains hundreds of parts but it is important to understand the most essential parts
    of the camera that you will have to deal with as you explore its features.

    1. Body - Made of high grade plastic or metal, this holds all the other parts together as well as
    provide protection to the delicate internal parts of the camera.
    2. Lens - A proper term for this part should be Lens Assembly, this consists of several layers of lenses
    of varying properties providing zoom, focusing, and distortion correction. These lenses are
    mechanically interconnected and adjustment is controlled either manually or electronically through the
    camera's body.
    3. Shutter Release Button - This is the "trigger" of the camera. In most cameras, a half-press
    activates and locks the auto-focus, and a full press initiates the image capturing process.
    4. Mode Dial - Contains several symbols (slightly different on various camera models), this dial
    allows you to select a shooting mode, automatic or manual or a choice between one of the pre-defined
    settings.
    5. Viewfinder - A small viewing window that shows the image that the camera's imaging sensor
    sees. This can either be an optical view finder, which shows the actual image in front of the camera
    through a peep hole or through mirrors, or an electronic view finder which is simply a small LCD
    display.
    6. Aperture Ring - Found around the old manual lens of SLR camera this is used to select an
    aperture opening. In modern lenses, the aperture is controlled electronically through the body.
    7. Focusing Ring - This can also be found around the lens of a DSLR camera. This is turned to
    manually focus the lens.
    8. LCD Display - In some compact cameras this acts as the viewfinder. This is a small screen (usually
    1.8" diagonally or bigger) at the back of the camera which can be used for framing or for reviewing
    the recorded pictures.
    9. Flash - Built-in on the body of most compact and some DSLR cameras this can either be fixed or
    flip type, it provides an instantaneous burst of bright light to illuminate a poorly lit scene.
    10. Control Buttons - Usually includes a set of directional keys and a few other buttons to activate
    certain functions and menus, this is used to let users interact with the camera's computer system.

    11. Power Switch - Turns On or Off the camera. This may also contain a Record / Play Mode selector
    on some cameras.
    12. Zoom Control - Usually marked with W and T, which stands for "Wide" and "Tele" respectively,
    this is used to control the camera's lenses to zoom-in or zoom-out. For DSLR cameras, the zoom is
    usually controlled by a zoom ring in the lens.
     

    13. Battery Compartment - Holds the batteries. Depending on the camera model, this varies in size
    and shape.
    14. Memory Card Slot - This is where expansion memory cards are inserted. The proper position of
    the card are often indicated. A mechanical catch usually holds the card in place and a spring helps it
    eject.
    15. Flash Mount (Hot-Shoe) - Standard holder with contact plates for
    optional Flash accessory.
    16. Diopter Adjuster - Usually available in mid to high end sub-compact
    cameras and DSLRs located besides the viewfinder. This varies the focal
    length of the lens in the viewfinder to make even people wearing eyeglasses
    to see clearly through it even without the eyeglasses.
    17. Tripod Mount  - Here is where your standard Tripod or Monopod is attached for added stability.
