PLEASE HELP THIS IS THE LAST PART TO MY FILM CLASS FINALS AND ITS DUE TONIGHT HELP ASAP Task 1: Understanding Your Camera’s Functions
How do you shoot pictures and videos? Do you use a DSLR, an automatic camera, or a cell phone camera?

If it is a DSLR, explore and describe the functions of the following parts:
⦁ aperture
⦁ shutter speed
⦁ focus

If it is an automatic or cell phone camera, explore and describe these features:
⦁ modes of shooting
⦁ zoom features

your response to each point needs to be a minimum of 2-3 paragraphs each minimum!

Explanation:

the fully automatic modes, DSLR and many point-and-shoot cameras feature Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual shooting modes.

DSLR

most new DSLRs have “Auto” modes that automatically pick the right shutter speed, aperture and even ISO for your exposure, using an Auto mode puts limits on what you can achieve with your camera. In many cases, the camera has to guess what the right exposure should be by evaluating the amount of light that passes through the lens.

1)shutter speed: the length of time a camera shutter is open to expose light into the camera sensor. Slow shutter speeds allow more light into the camera sensor and are used for low-light and night photography, while fast shutter speeds help to freeze motion. Examples of shutter speeds: 1/15 (1/15th of a second), 1/30, 1/60, 1/125.

2)aperture: a hole within a lens, through which light travels into the camera body. The larger the hole, the more light passes to the camera sensor. Aperture also controls the depth of field, which is the portion of a scene that appears to be sharp. If the aperture is very small, the depth of field is large, while if the aperture is large, the depth of field is small. In photography, aperture is typically expressed in “f” numbers (also known as “focal ratio”, since the f-number is the ratio of the diameter of the lens aperture to the length of the lens). Examples of f-numbers are: f/1.4, f/2.0, f/2.8, f/4.0, f/5.6, f/8.0.

3)focus: Autofocus is performed when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. The photographer can choose whether the camera locks or continues to adjust focus while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. The setting that controls this behavior is focus mode.
