It depends on the shutter speed, if its a "point and shoot" camera the speed is determined by the auto settings of the camera. For a DSLR cameras you can control it manually, average DSLR cameras can shoot up to 1/8000th of a second.

It depends on the settings. Things such as auto-focus, red-eye reduction, or backlighting can cause a delay while the image is defined.

How long did it take for a photo to be printed in the olden days?

Before the days of digital cameras and printing photos off a printer, pictures were taken on cameras that required film. Once the pictures were taken, the film had to be taken to a store to be sent off to be developed. It could take a week or so to get your pictures back to the store to be picked up.


If you take the film out of the disposable camera when you have no more picture's will it ruin the picture's?

Disposable cameras start with the entire roll of film wound up OUTSITE the spool/canister. As you take pics, and wind the film, the negatives are moved into the canister, so, when you have taken all the pics, and fully wound the film on, it can then be safely removed from the camera. No point, really, bacause you will be unable to reset a fresh roll into that camera...

What is auto exposure?

Well.. Exposure is how long the camera takes to take a picture. A long exposure time gets a better and higher quality image when the camera is still. A short exposure is when the camera may move or something in the picture may move. So to keep it from blurring the camera captures an image for a fraction of a second. Auto exposure does this automatically analysing whats happening in the picture to create the best of both worlds basically.

You need a camera that you can take long exposures with.... Also you would need a remote control cord connected to it so that you can hold the shutter open for as long as it takes to bring in enough light to get the stars to show up in the picture....This would also keep you from shaking the camera and streaking the stars....
