Naming different
camera parts
Lens
The lens is one of the most vital parts of a camera. The
light enters through the lens, and this is where the photo
process begins. Lenses can be either fixed permanently
to the body or interchangeable.
Body
The body is the main portion of the camera, and bodies
can be a number of different shapes and sizes. DSLRs
tend to be larger bodied and a bit heavier, while there are
other consumer cameras that are a conveniently smaller
size and even able to fit into a pocket.
Shutter
The shutter is the mechanism that allows for multiple
images to be taken really quickly, and therefore enables
the ability to take multiple images. The length of time the
shutter is left open or “exposed” is determined by the
shutter speed.
Memory card
The memory card stores all of the image information, and
they range in size and speed capacity. The main types of
memory cards available are CF and SD cards, and
cameras vary on which type that they require.
Flash
The on-board flash will be available on all cameras except
some professional grade DSLRs. It can sometimes be
useful to provide a bit of extra light during dim, low light
situations.
