Lens
This refers to the time the shutter is opened allowing light to reach the film

A device that allows the light through the lens and closes at a given time
Shutter
An adjustable mechanism that regulates the amount of light reaching the film by varying length of time
Shutter
This is “control” by which you can determine how long in time the lens will remain open for light to be recorded
Shutter
It is made up of overlapping blades powered by a spring
Blade or between the lens shutter
It consists of two metal blinds that open progressively or made of a black cloth and generally located at very near the focal plane
Focal Plane Shutter

Diaphragm or Aperture
A small opening in a camera usually a circular shape and usually variables in the form iris

A twisted to advance the film inside to check the number of exposure
Film Advance Lever
It controls the length of time when light is allowed to strike the sentisized material
Shutter Speed Dial
Part of the camera which when pressed will keep the shutter in open position
Shutter Release Button

This is automatically operated to allow the photographer to participate in photo taking
Self Timer
It holds the film firmly inside the camera
Chamber or Film Holder
It is where the flash bulb chord is plugged for synchronization to the camera
Flash Terminal
It regulates the amount of time that reaches the film
Shutter Speed
It is the time for which the shutter is held open during the taking of a photograph to allow the light to reach the film or imaging sensor
