DSLR Camera Part 1 Quiz

A DSLR stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex, which uses a mirror mechanism to direct light from the lens to the optical viewfinder.

When the shutter button is pressed, the mirror flips up to allow light to reach the image sensor, capturing the photograph.

The aperture, located in the lens, adjusts in size to control the amount of light that reaches the sensor.

ISO controls the camera sensor’s sensitivity to light; higher ISO helps in darker environments but can introduce noise.

Shutter speed determines how long the camera’s sensor is exposed to light, affecting motion blur and exposure.

Manual mode (M) gives the photographer full control over aperture and shutter speed, allowing creative flexibility.

Autofocus automatically adjusts the lens to make the subject appear sharp and clear.

Image stabilization reduces camera shake during handheld shooting, especially in low light or long focal lengths.

The viewfinder in a DSLR shows the scene as seen through the lens via the mirror and prism system.

Depth of field describes how much of the photo is in focus, shallow for blurred backgrounds, deep for full sharpness.
