CHAPTER 3 (PIC) Flashcards
The camera’s lens is INCORPORATED INTO BELLOWS, which is slid back and forth along a rail to change focus.
FOLDING CAMERA
It uses a mirror that REFLECTS AN IMAGE OF THE SCENE upward onto a viewing screen.
TWIN - LENS REFLEX CAMERA
The DARK CLOTH COVERING the photographer and the box body of the camera blocks out undesirable light, which might otherwise interfere with the picture.
FOLDING CAMERA
With one lens to EXPOSE the film and another lens for VIEWING.
TWIN - LENS REFLEX CAMERA
Principal problem is PARALLAX.
TWIN - LENS REFLEX CAMERA
cameras literally allow anyone to CAPTURE BEAUTIFUL IMAGES by simply pointing the camera at the subject and clicking the shutter.
it is the MOST USER FRIENDLY OF ALL CAMERA TYPES
Compact Digital (Point and Shoot Cameras)
cameras take photos to the NEXT LEVEL OF IMAGE QUALITY. This more “serious” type of camera is best known for delivering remarkably sharp and spectacular images.
Digital SLR Cameras (digital single lens reflex)
are the LASTEST PROFESSIONAL CAMERAS They are basically more compact DSLRs without the internal mirror that reflects light onto the sensor.
Mirrorless Cameras
Each is a BOX WITH THE PIECE OF FILM in one end and a hole in the other.
ANATOMY OF A CAMERA
ALL CAMERAS are basically the same
ANATOMY OF A CAMERA
A disc of TRANSPARENT GLASS generally bounded by two special surfaces capable of forming an image.
LENS
The JOB ALWAYS THE SAME: to get light onto film to form an image
ANATOMY OF A CAMERA
An ADJUSTABLE MECHANISM that regulates the amount of light reaching the film by varying the length of time.
SHUTTER
This is a control by which you can determine HOW LONG IN TIME THE LENS WILL REMAIN OPEN for light to be recorded on the film.
SHUTTER
It is made up of OVERLAPPING BLADES powered by a spring
BLADE OR BETWEEN THE LENS SHUTTER
LOCATED BETWEEN THE APERTURE AND THE LENS or in between the lens.
BLADE OR BETWEEN THE LENS SHUTTER
They will GIVE SPEED UP TO 1/500th of a second
BLADE OR BETWEEN THE LENS SHUTTER
It consists of TWO METAL BLINDS that open progressively or made of a black cloth and generally located very near the focal plane.
FOCAL PLANE SHUTTER
These shutters are pre-set; it has to be COCKED BEFORE RELEASE
FOCAL PLANE SHUTTER
It can be set and SYNCHRONIZE AT ALL SPEED
FOCAL PLANE SHUTTER
MOVES THE LENS BACK AND FORTH which allows the photographer to create a sharp image of the subject.
FOCUSING RING
A SMALL OPENING IN A CAMERA usually circular in shape and usually variables in the form iris diaphragm that regulates the intensity of light which passes through the lens
DIAPHRAGM OR APERTURE
A part of the camera that is TWISTED TO ADVANCE THE FILM inside and to check the number of exposure.
FILM ADVANCE LEVER
It will CONTROL THE LENGTH OF TIME when light is allowed to strike the sensitized material.
SHUTTER SPEED DIAL
A VIEWING INSTRUMENT attached to a camera, used to obtain proper composition.
VIEW FINDER/WINDOW
The TIME SETTING OF A CAMERA- this is automatically operated allow the photographer to participate in photo-taking.
SELF TIMER
It holds the film FIRMLY INSIDE THE CAMERA. It is always located at the opposite side of the lens.
FILM HOLDER/CHAMBER
It is where FLASH BULB CORD is plugged for synchronization to the camera.
FLASH TERMINAL
FOUR IMPORTANT CONTROLS IN THE CAMERA:
- FOCUSING CONTROL
- FOCUSING RING
- SHUTTER SPEED CONTROL
- APERTURE OR DIAPHRAGM CONTROL
A LARGE KNURLED RING around the barrel of this lens, when turned the lens will either move away or toward the camera body, depending upon the direction of rotation until ring cannot be turned further. At this stopping point, all distant objects are in focus regarding of difference in their distance, is termed infinity focus or simply infinity.195
FOCUSING RING
It the means by which the object distance is estimated or CALCULATED TO FORM SHARP or clear images.
Focus
The ADJUSTING OR CHANGING THE DISTANCE between the focal plane and the length
Focusing
TYPES OF FOCUS:
MICRO PRISM
SPLIT IMAGE
These are finely etched prisms which BREAK UP THE IMAGE; they are brought together as you focus.
MICRO PRISM
two prism which splits your image in HALF AS YOU FOCUS both halves rejoins to form a clear image.
Split image
It is FOUND AT THE BACK OF CAMERA or in the case of modern, also coupled with the view finder.
GROUND GLASS TYPE
A ground glass is a MATT GLASS. The whole of the image on this screen will progressively become sharp.
GROUND GLASS TYPE
The point of focus is where the IMAGE IS SHARPEST
GROUND GLASS TYPE
The distance between the NEAREST OBJECT AND FAREST OBJECT that appears to be focus when the lens is focus on infinity.
DEPTH OF FIELD
also called FOCUS RANGE or effective focus range.
DEPTH OF FIELD
This control is utilized by manipulating the ASA/ISO or DIN dial of the camera. Basically, the shutter and the flnumbers are both controlling the system of the rays of light that enters.
FILM SPEED CONTROL
The view of the subject subtended by TWO LINES EMERGING the corners of the fill extending to the center of the lens.
ANGLE OF VIEW
It regulates the AMOUNT OF TIME that reaches the film. It is controlled by the shutter speed dial.
Shutter Speed
is the TIME FOR WHICH THE SHUTTER is held open during the taking of a photograph to allow light to reach the film or imaging sensor (in a digital camera).
Shutter Speed
Basic Principles of Shutter Speed:
Fast Shutter
Slow Shutter
speed will allow MORE LIGHT to reach the film.
Slow Shutter
speed will allow LESS LIGHT to reach the film.
Fast Shutter
A photo at night with automatic EXPOSURE TIME 1/8 SEC
Fast Shutter
The same photo on the left taken with EXPOSURE TIME 10 SEC
Slow Shutter
It is a LIGHT TIGHT BOX chambered to the aperture enclosed in a shutter at the opposite end of which is the place where the sensitized material is located
Camera
Early forms of camera:
Pinhole camera
Box camera
Camera obscura
Folding camera
Twin lens reflex camera
This refers to a SIMPLE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION, usually home-made consisting of a box having a small aperture functioning as a lens at one end
Pinhole camera
This refers to a SIMPLE CAMRRA THAT IS LITTLE MORE than a pinhole camera
Box camera
This refers to a DARKENED CHAMBER OR SMALL BUILDING in which images of outside objects are projected onto a flat surface by a convex lens in aperture
Camera obscura
