Types of Cameras & Components Variety of cameras with different features, sizes and price points. Cameras have evolved from the single reflex lens (SLR) 35mm film camera to digital single reflex cameras (DSLR) and now the newer DSLR models have perfected the ability to record video. Be familiar with the background and capabilities of the SLR, DSLR, point-and-shoot and camera phones.SLRDSLR point-and-shootcamera phones This course will focus on making images with DSLR cameras. This knowledge of photography will translate if your point and shoot has capabilities to control ISO, aperture and shutter speed. DIG 101 : Intro to Digital Photography 6

Camera Components DSLR cameras internal components include: Lens elements, digital image sensor, rotating mirror, pentaprism, shutter, and eyepiece. External components include things like the LCD screen, shutter release button, on/off power dial, lens release button, flash, hot shoe, view finder, memory card slot, and dials or buttons to change the ISO, aperture, shutter speed, flash intensity, and white balance.
