- Basic types of cameras -- shutters
- Slide 30
- A camera shutter is a set of parts that can move quickly out of
the way to allow light to hit the film or the digital sensor. When
the parts are out of the way the shutter is in the open position.
All modern camera shutters are controlled by timers to close after
a pre-determined interval. Visual examples follow the text.
- Slide 31
- Basic types of cameras -- shutters Shutter parts are usually
curtains or blades. 35mm camera shutters were made of flexible
fabric curtains for the first 50 years they were manufactured. Now
all camera shutters are made of movable blades or disks.

- Lenses NEVER focus anything perfectly. They just focus well
enough to make our optic nerves (eyeballs) happy. Lenses turn
points of light into little circles on the film. Those are called
the circle of confusion. How appropriate, eh? Lenses for 35mm film
and digital sensors make circles 0.03mm in diameter. Thats about
one TENTH the diameter of a human hair.
