It is identical in action to the iris in your eye, it widens and narrows to allow only the required amount of light through the aperture hole/pupil

How is the eye like a camera?
If you have photographic memory then your eye functions like a camera in a way
What structure of the eye is most like a film in a camera?
The retina
What does the diaphragm mean in photography?
The diaphragm, often called the "iris" diaphragm for its identical form and function to the iris in your eye, regulates the physical amount of light allowed to pass through a camera lens. It may be called the "iris," the "diaphragm," the "iris diaphragm," the "stop," or the "aperture." All mean the same thing.Physically, the diaphragm or iris diaphragm is made up of overlapping thin opaque metal plates, usually six or eight, which can be adjusted to increase or decrease the diameter of the hole, called the stop, in the center of the lens. The diaphragm is often located at the optical center of the lens between sets of elements. On manual cameras there is usually a ring around the lens barrel marked in f/stops for adjustment of the diaphragm.The iris (diaphragm) in your eye, working properly, automatically opens or closes in response to light level. When you are exposed to strong light the iris closes down (or "stops" down) to a smaller diameter, decreasing the light reaching your retina (equivalent to the film or sensor in your camera). In dim light, the iris opens up to admit more light. The diaphragm in your camera works the same way, and on modern cameras it's often equally automatic. You may never even notice it's working.In a camera, the iris diaphragm and the shutter have to work together to control the total exposure. The iris diaphragm controls the amount of light, and the shutter controls the amount of light over time. Depending on the make and model of the camera, shutter and diaphragm may be manual, automatic or both. The diaphragm is the mechanism that varies the size of the aperture; the opening that allows light into the camera.
What part of the human eye corresponds to the lens of the camera?
The iris. - - - - - No. It's the eyelid. The shutter's function is to completely stop light from reaching the film (or the sensor, if you have a digital camera with a mechanical shutter). The iris in your eye cannot do this--only the eyelid can.
Pinhole camera and human eye similarities?
I think a pinhole camera is similar to the human eye because like the pinhole camera when it sees something it reflects the image but it is an inverted image. With the human eye the brain corrects it and turns it the right way up. The pinhole cameras image is not corrected because it does not have a lens.
What part of the eye is like the diaphragm of a camera?
the iris
How is the diaphragm of a camera like the iris of the eye?
A camera's diaphragm and your eye's iris perform the same function in the same way. They both control how much light is allowed through the lens by expanding and contracting.
What part of the eye is most like an aperture of a camera?
The iris is like the aperture part of a camera, which used to also be called the iris.
What part of the eye is like the emulsion of a camera?
The emulsion on the film of a camera is where the image is focused and captured. In the eye that function is performed by the retina.
What part of microscope helps adjust the brightness of an image?
Light source and diaphragm. The diaphragm is the opening like and iris in the stage. It can be made large and small like the pupils of the eye.
What part of the camera acts as the screen like the retina of the eye?
Film or Paper
What are the parts of the that eye that similar to the camera?
In a camera the following parts could be considered equivalent to the parts of a human eye:Optical diaphragm = IrisAperture in optical diaphragm = PupilOuter lens element / lens glass = CorneaInner lens element = Eye lensCCD Sensor (in a digital camera) = RetinaThis is a huge simplification of a very complex topic.

How does the eye work like a camera?
Eye can capture an image for 1/20th of a second.And, this is how the eye works like a camera.
What are the differences between a human eye and a camera?
These are some of the differences between the camera and the human eye.the human eyes uses living cells while the camera is artificial,the eye focus the image using the retina while the camera changes the position of the lenses,the amount of light enters the eye is control by the iris while in camera it is by the diaphragm,

i dont know well then it on front side of the case
