1. What is a camera?
Camera is a light-tight box that contains a light-sensitive material or device and a way of letting in a desired amount of light at particular times to create an image on the light-sensitive material.
2. What is a convex lens?
Convex lens bends the light toward the center of the lens, since one or both sides of the glass curve out.
3. What three components make up a film camera? Define each part.
The three components that make up a film camera are mechanical element, optical element and chemical element. The mechanical element of a film camera is the body of the camera and the parts associated with it. The optical element of a film camera is the cameras lens. The chemical element of a film camera is the film.
4. What is a pentaprism? What job does it do in the camera?
A pentaprism is a five-sided mirror. The job that the pentaprism does in the camera is to flip the light from the image so the image appears right side up not the inverted image that first shows up.
5. What are point and shoot cameras? How do they differ from SLR cameras?
Point and shoot cameras are those that use an optical viewfinder, rather than having the semiautomatic mirror. An SLR, or single lens reflex, camera has a semiautomatic movement of the mirror, which produces an exact image in the viewfinder.
6. What is JPEG? What considerations have to be kept in mind with JPEG?
JPEG which stands for "Joint Photo Experts Group," is the default file format in many digital cameras on the market today.
7. What is the difference between optical and digital zoom?
Optical zoom works like a telephoto lens; the image quality remains the same as the image is magnified. Digital zoom crops the image and enlarges the cropped image to fill the frame of the camera.
8. What are the steps you can take to create a pinhole camera? Have you tried to make one?
The steps you can take to create a pinhole camera are:
1. Gather your supplies (round oatmeal box, wax paper & heavy
