Aperture controls the size of the opening in the camera lens that allows light to enter. A larger aperture opening admits more light while a smaller opening admits less light. The shutter speed controls how long the shutter remains open, with faster speeds allowing clearer photos of moving objects by minimizing blur. Focusing involves adjusting the camera lens to make a specific object or scene appear sharply in focus while blurring the background or foreground. Digital cameras offer different modes that provide varying levels of control over aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings to give photographers manual or automatic control over exposures. The key components of a digital camera include the mode dial, lens release button, lenses, viewfinder, LCD screen, and menu button which allow photographers to operate the

2. APERTURE
• Aperture is the small hole in the lens that uses light
in the same way as our eyes. For example light
reflects of an object then into the camera
• The larger the hole the bigger the aperture. The
smaller the hole the smaller the aperture.

3. • The camera shutter is a curtain in front of the sensor that stays closed
until the the shutter button is pressed which then takes the picture.
• The faster the shutter speed the more fps it has which can take an action
photo with moving objects clearly without blurring.
SHUTTER SPEED

4. • Focusing is what the photographer does to make the photo more clear or
make a certain object in the photo clear with the rest blurred.
• When using an SLR camera to focus the camera lens will be able to twist
which allows you to focus the picture to how you want by looking at the
digital screen while moving the lens to the right focus

5. • Digital Camera Modes allow photographers to control the parameters of
an exposure, specifically, Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO.
• Some mode automate everything where as some modes allow the
photographer to manually set the modes to how they may want it.

shutter release, view finder, LCD and the menu button are all camera
components mostly need to make the camera work.
