This document provides an overview of basic photography concepts. It begins by introducing the author, Kim Phally, who works as a graphic designer and freelance photographer in Cambodia. The document then discusses the main parts of a digital camera, including the camera body, sensor, lens, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. It notes there are three types of digital cameras: compact, advanced, and DSLR. The lens allows light into the camera body and sensor, and comes in different types like wide angle, telephoto, and macro. Aperture controls depth of field and sharpness. Shutter speed controls the duration of exposure and is measured in fractions of a second. Higher ISO allows more light but results

5. Camera Body
• Camera body makes by other parts like:
– Body Case

6. Camera Sensor
• Sensor is device that convert optical image
to electronic signal.
• Most currently of Digital Camera is used
– (CCD) charge-coupled device
– (CMOS) complementary metal–oxide–
semiconductor ‘active pixel sensors’.

7. Lens
• Lens is eyes of EOS (Electro-Optical System)
Camera and there are two kinds of lens:
– EF Lens (For Full Frame and Crop Sensor)
– EF-S Lens (For Crop Sensor only)
• Wide Angle Lenses / Zoom
(Use to shoot landscape and wide field)
• Telephoto Lenses / Zoom
(Use to shoot wildlife, some time for
portrait)
• Macro Lens (Macro Photos)

11. Aperture / F-Stop (Av)
• Aperture is device allows the light from out
side go into the lens and to Camera Sensor.
• Aperture allows to do Sharp or Depth of
field.

12. Shutter Speed (Tv)
• Shutter Speed / Exposure time: the time that
Camera’s shutter is opened taking photo, it controls
the duration of the exposure.
– The length of S: 1/1000 s, 1/500 s, 1/250 s, 1/125 s,
1/60 s, 1/30 s, 1/15 s, 1/8 s, 1/4 s, 1/2 s, 1 s, 15 s, 30 s
and Standard S (1/60 s, 1/125 s, 1/250 s).
1/30 s 15 s – 30 s

13. ISO
• ISO allows to get more or less amount of
light.
• If you use high ISO, your image will get more
noise.
