IT will require two parts to answer your question as it's phrased. The camera's shutter controls the time that light falls on the film, so controls the duration of exposure, and the lens aperture controls the brightness of the light falling on the film. The two functions are used together to get the desired effect.

The aperature setting controls that amount of light that will fall on the image. The aperature is a whole formed by the shutter itself, the aperature setting (also known as "F-stops" control how large the opening will be, thus the amount of light that touches the image. The larger the number (for example, f20) the less light will hit the image, the smaller the number (for example f2.8) the more light will enter the image.

The shutter controls this by quickly opening and then closing to let light in for only a brief moment.

What part of a camera controls the amount of light that enters the camera?

The functional opening is the aperture, the opening that controls the amount of light that hits the photosensitive surface. You may have a camera with interchangeable lenses that screw into and out of the camera's body. The opening into which the lens is screwed is not the aperture.


What are 3 things that controls exposure?

Shutter speed, aperture, and ISO are the three main factors that control exposure in photography. Shutter speed determines how long the sensor is exposed to light, aperture controls the amount of light entering the camera, and ISO adjusts the camera's sensitivity to light.

How is a camera made?

The lens is made of glass and plastic (or groups of glass elements) and focuses light passing through it on film to reproduce an image. The diaphragm is an opening or aperture that controls the amount of light entering the camera from the lens and so limits the film's exposure to light.

What are the similarities and the differences between a camera and the human eye?

The human eye can be compared to a photographic camera because the pupil of the eye and the shutter on a camera, is what controls the amount of light let in. As for differences, a human eye is alive while a camera is an inanimate object invented by man.
