A camera is a device used to capture visual images by recording light onto a photosensitive surface or sensor. It consists of various components such as lenses, sensors, and controls.
Aperture: The opening in the lens that controls the amount of light entering the camera. It also affects depth of field.
ISO: The sensitivity setting on your camera that determines how it responds to available light. Higher ISO values are used in low-light situations.
White Balance: Adjusting the colors in an image so they appear natural under different lighting conditions.
