Parts of a Camera

Camera is made up of many parts, but there are a few in particular that we want to look at as they are the most important. Here’s a basic overview of the parts:

1.The body

The body is what you see on a camera when the lens is unmounted. While body has little effect on the quality of your photos, it does affect things like ease of use and comfort. If we can’t hold it properly the quality of the images will be poor.

2.The lens

The lens is the eye of the camera. It’s a very complex instrument. Different lenses can provide many different features, so it’s important to know the differences between them.

3.The sensor

The sensor is basically the digital equivalent of film. It means that, like film, the sensor is exposed to light that comes through the lens and it records that exposure. The exposure is then processed and saved to flash memory (generally an SD or Compact Flash card). The caliber and size of the sensor are also very important, as these things significantly affect the quality of your photos.

4.The flash card

Flash card is where you save your images. Flash cards range in read and write speeds as well. A slow card can significantly degrade your camera’s performance.

5.The battery

Camera is just like any other electronic devices. It needs energy to work. So battery is an essential part.
