The Cameras History and Basic Function


The Camera:

"The hole acted like a lens, focusing and projecting light onto the wall of the dark chamber" which is obscure effect. And in Latin, it translate to 'dark room'. 

The modern camera started with glass lenses from the highest of qualities. Isaac Newton and Christian Huygens teamed together to start a trend that everyone will be joining. Soon, Nicéphore Niépce came strutting along and contributed by adding film and a dark box, expanding the trend of cameras. 

Modern day, people use "tiny computer" stashed in their up-to-date cameras to snap pictures. 

Camera Modes:

The differences between "Auto mode" and "program mode" is control. While Auto has full custody over flash and exposure, Program has you handle the settings and flash. 


Portrait mode teams up with Aperture Priority to birth good exposure and a blurred background, almost similar to sports mode. 


When photographing motion, it's best of use Sports Mode, for the point of said setting pause action. Example: profile pictures of swimming and their gaping mouths. The Maze Runner movie uses Sports Mode in one of their posters, where the main character Thomas is sprinting through the Maze, and the camera gets a picture of his sharpen body as the background is blurred out. 

          
Want to use manual mode? It mandatory for a photographer to set the aperture and shutter mode on. Both used for good exposure. 

The Half Press:

A half press to the camera is a little warning, to confirm a picture is soon to be taken. "It focuses without shutter lag." 

Controlling Flash:
