Describe the functions of the shutter and aperture mechanisms?
Fordgti2009
The shutter is a piece of the camera that opens up when you take a photo. The shutter speed is how long this shutter stays open, the longer the time , the more light getting through - and the more motion blur. The aperture is the part of the camera that controls how much light is getting through, the smaller the f stop the more light getting through, and vice versa. The aperture is like the black part of are eye, I do not know if you have ever noticed, but, when you go in to a dark place the black dot gets bigger, when you go to a place with a lot of light the black dot gets smaller, same for the camera. Also, you did not mention ISO, that is not a part of the camera but just a setting. The higher the ISO the more sensitive the shutter is to light, but you also get more noise with high ISO.

What is the difference between a shutter and an aperture?
A shutter is a device that shuts. In a camera, it's the device that opens for a period of time, usually very short, to allow light to pass through the aperture, and then shuts. An aperture is an opening. In a camera, it's the opening in the camera's body, usually where a lens and shutter are mounted, where the light enters on its way to whatever is going to capture the image.
