What are the internal parts of a camera?

Answer 1

Whether an old-fashioned camera or digital, some camera parts remain the same. For example, cameras have a battery, a lens (some with lens caps), a zoom feature, a counter for how many photos have been taken (or, how many are left), a wrist strap, and sometimes a camera case.

Digital cameras also have viewing screen to review a photo instantly, and a memory card that stores photos. It also needs a USB cord to attach to a computer to download the photos.

Answer 2

The essential parts of a digital camera is how many mega pixels it is. The higher pixels there are the better quality the picture will come out.For beautiful 8x10's a 6 mega pixel camera will do.The next important part is the quality of the lens.Make sure it is made of glass for tyhe best quality image.Other than those that's really all that is needed to take stunning pics....

Answer 3

There are several categories of camera that one is likely to encounter in the process of image creation today. Each varietry has unique functions and capabilities, consequently, each has a somewhat unique list of 'parts'.

For the sake of brevity, let us limit, if you will, the scope of this question to six varieties of camera which are most commonly being utilized today. The first distinction it is necessary to make is between the basic "still" camera and the somewhat more complex "moving picture" or "movie" type. Perhaps surprisingly, the two categories share a great majority of basic components.

Once we have determined whether we are interested in the creation of static images or in the capture of movement as well, we must consider not only the means, but the medium. (Mr. McLuhan, are you getting the 'message'? Sorry,

please forgive my salute to silliness) The medium, in this context, refers to the technology we choose to employ in order to preserve our creations for posterity. There are three modalities in common use today, though one of them is definitely in the twilight of it's service life, guess which!

The categories are:

1.) Film

2.) Video (Any of a number of various magnetic recording systems extant in the analog domain. )

3.) Digital (Currently, this is the 800 pound, M.M.A. trained, cage fighting, silverback gorilla that has been locked in the octagon with the other two 98 pound Celine Dion tour followers!! Digital storage can be accomplished handily, by any of a virtual panoply of technologies appropriate to to the task of archival preservation of your most precious ones and zeroes! Floppy disks to solid-state, or, if you are the daring, visionary type.

Each of these systems posesses it's own inherent strengths and weaknesses, the essence and application of which is truly, a full banquet of specialized knowlege, and well beyond the nutritional scope of this, a mere, humble low carb info-snack. Understood?

(QuicksDraw!)

1.) Film based still cameras.

2.) Film based motion-picture cameras.

3.) Video still cameras. (Sony Mavica, Kodak something or other..)

4.) Video motion-picture cameras, or more commonly, 'Camcorders'.

5.) Digital Still cameras. (Often festooned with a baroque assortment of oddly conceived, built-in, bonus doo-dads and lurid gimcrackery, such as, adjustable insulated espresso-cup holders, copiously RAM-endowed mp3 players, or,

still more enigmatically, of all things, TELEPHONES!! Wowee-zowee, whose fevered imagination made the determination that those particular items really ought to, optimally, be conjoined as one?!? Only an elite corporate focus group has the requisite helix to birth a brain-child of that genome.. In all likelihood, t'were the very same team of towering creative titans who were behind the introduction of the peanut-butter and liverwurst pita-wrap!

This virtual S.W.A.T. team of the group-think dynamic, through courageous, hybrid branding conceptualization coupled boldly with several other examples of equally meaningless business jargon, proudly (or at least, shamelessly) brought to market the eagerly anticipated, inexplicably overdue 'marriage of conveniences' the first, and only, fully remote controlled microwave oven to offer Bluetooth wireless connectivity and full HD resolution.

6.) Digital Camcorders. (Most commonly and creatively employed in the merciless humiliation of dear 'friends', valued co-workers and highly vaunted colleagues, preserved in public perpetuity as exhibited through the remorseless,

unblinking eye of You-Tube! Compliments of, and all rights reserved by, Google Inc.

There are purportedly, it probably should be mentioned, a handful of other, less eminently practical, perhaps even a bit frivolous, applications for which digital video might be suitable!)

The Lens, The camera itself, And the Viewfinder.
