53
Is a light tight box with a lens to form an image with a shutter and diaphragm to control the entry of the message a means of holding a film to record the image and a viewer or viewfinder to show the photographer what the image is
Camera
54
This is a term where camera originated; an optical device used in drawing or for entertainment it is one of the inventions leading to photography
Camera obscura
55
This part of the camera is very essential because of its capability to exclude all unwanted light that may expose the sensitive materials or film it is an enclosure that is devoid of light
Light tight box
56
Only responsible in focusing the rays of light coming from the subject. It is one of the most important parts of camera because without this it is impossible to form a sharp image of the film.
Lens
57
It holds the film firmly inside the camera it is located at the opposite side of the lens of the camera
Film holder
58
Served as the barriers of the race of light that will enter and affect the film inside the camera it is usually placed at the path of the light passing through the lens
Shutter
59
The smallest and simplest type of camera this is also known as instamatic camera and it suffers parallax error.
View finder type
60
The best way to determine the entire coverage of the camera is to look behind the lens of the camera in this manner the object can be framed properly and recorded on the film. this type of camera eliminates the problem of parallax error
Single lens reflex type
61
Has two lens, one for viewing and focusing on the subject and for taking lens. In this type of camera, the image to be photograph is seen as flat surface as the image is reflected by the mirror behind the viewing lens. This suffer parallax error
Twin lens reflex camera
62
The biggest and most sophisticated among the different type of camera. This type of camera is practically useless for candid and action photography
View or press type camera

69
A special type of camera having 180 degrees angle of view
Fish eye lens
70
A type of camera in which the lens and the shutter mounted into body by which in accordion below which can be folded into camera for ease of carrying
Folding camera
71
Adjusting the lens to form the possible clearest image is called focusing. Is defines as the setting of the proper distance in order to form a sharp image
Focusing control
72
Splits or doubles the objects to be photographed into two. While moving the focusing control, the split image will move and unite to form an undivided appearance and therefore the focus is accurate and perfect
Rangefinder type
73
Focusing mechanism clearly indicates whether the object distance and the camera is out of focus or not. If the object is not will focused, the object to be photograph will appear blurred. To make it clear and accurate the focusing ring of the camera is adjusted in clockwise or counterclockwise to get the desired clearness of the object
Ground glass type
74
In this type of focusing control mechanism the distance of the object to be photograph is calculated by means of feet or meter. There are cameras were estimated distance from the camera to object is being indicated on the focusing ring
Focusing bed or focusing scale
75
Serve as the aperture stop and controls the aperture. Function much like the iris of the eye it controls the effective diameter of the lens opening
Diaphragm control
76
Also known as pupil of the camera
Aperture
77
Allows light to pass for a determined period of time for the purpose of exposing photographic film or a light sensitive electronic sensor to light to capture a permanent image of a scene
Shutter speed control
78
Are usually implemented as a pair of cloth, metal or plastic curtains which shield the film from light
Focal plane shutters
79
Is a type of camera shutter consisting of a mechanism with one or more pivoting metal leaves which normally does not allow light through the lens onto the camera.
Leaf shutter
80
Is a type of leaf shutter consisting of a number of thin blades which briefly and cover the camera aperture to make the exposure
Diaphragm shutter
81
Is a camera shutter normally located within the lens assembly where a relatively small opening allows light to cover the entire image. The term is also used for shutter behind, but near to, the lens.
Central shutters
82
When to use slow shutter speed
Used in lowest light, can also be used for steel images and in creative effect as moving subject will become artistically blurred
83
When to use fast shutter speed
"Used in moving subject" that needed to avoid camera shake
84
Factors to be considered in using shutter speed control
The film sensitivity of the film which are determined through its ISO
The lighting condition

The purpose of the photograph to be taken etc
85
Keep the shutter open as long as the shutter release is held

90
A lens with two concave surfaces is?
Biconcave
91
If one of the surfaces is flat, the lens is ______ depending on the curvature of the other surfaces
Plano convex or plano concave
92
This lens is always thicker at the center and thinner at the sides
Positive or converging lens
93
This lens is always thinner at the center and thicker at the sides
Negative or diverging lens
94
When light passing through near the central part of the converging lens is bended more sharply than those rays falling in the edge, does the race coming from the edges are focused on a plane nearer the lens than those coming from the central part
Spherical aberration
95
This is another form of spherical aberration but is concerned with the light rays entering the lens obliquely.
Coma
96
This is kind of defect where the image formed by a lens come to a sharper focus in curved surface than a flat surface
Curvature of field
97
A lens with _____ is incapable of rendering straight lines correctly
Distortion
98
If the diaphragm is placed in the front of the lens, straight lines near the edges of the object tends to bulge outside
Barrel distortion
99
If the diaphragm is placed behind the lens, straight lines near the edges tends to bend inward
Pincushion distortion
100
This defect is the inability of the lens to bring photographic rays of different wavelengths to the same focus
Chromatic aberration
101
Ultraviolet rays are bent the most well infrared rays are bent to the less when they pass through the lens this defect is reduced by utilizing compound lenses made up of single lens made up of glass of different curvatures
Chromatic aberration
102
This defect is present when size of image produced by photographic rays of one wavelength is different from the size produced by another. In color photography it produces a rainbow colored ranges around the edges of objects while in black and white photography it appears as a slight blue
