Part 1:
1. Shutter speed is the curtain like part of the camera that opens for a certain amount of time, called “shutter speed,” to allow a certain amount of light into the camera to expose the picture. The shutter speed is represented in fractions of a second, one second, or sometimes two seconds.
2. Aperture is the diaphragm opening and closing of the lens of the camera that allows a certain amount of light into the camera, controlling the exposure of the image.
3. Equivalent exposures are two combinations of shutter speed and aperture that allow an equal amount of light into the camera, thus an equal exposure of the image as well.
4. Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear sharp or in focus.
5. A pixel is the smallest unit of a digital image that can be represented or controlled. A megapixel is one million pixels in a gridded pattern in the shape of a rectangle.
6. Resolution is the amount of pixels that make up an image. The higher the resolution, the clearer the image. The lower the resolution, the blurrier the image.
