If you’re new to photography and have invested in a new camera, then have hope not fear: we all start somewhere. We have plenty of quick hints and tips to share that will help you get better, sharp blur-free photos, as well as guide you on some of the important first things you need to know about cameras.

Photography is actually just as much a science as it is an art — yet a large majority don’t realize what happens every time they push the camera’s button or open a smartphone camera app. So how does a camera work? Here’s what happens every time you press that button — and how to use a camera to take better pictures.

They say that to master any skill, you must know as much about it as possible. You need to know its intricacies to be able to execute that skill to your best abilities. Photography is no different. Knowing the basic parts of a camera and its functions is essential so that you can use them to your advantage and help you maximize the camera’s potential. After all, a camera is only as good as its operator.

While light bounces off of objects, it can also pass through objects &mdash; but, when it does, it can actually change direction. A camera lens takes all the light rays bouncing around and uses glass to redirect them to a single point, creating a sharp image.
Distance also plays a role in how camera lenses are able to zoom in. When the front piece of glass moves farther away from the camera sensor, objects become closer. Focal length is the measurement of the distance between where the light rays first hit the lens and where they reach the camera sensor. For example, on a lens with a 300mm focal length, the light takes 300 mm to be directed back into a sharp point on the camera sensor. A 300mm lens is considered a telephoto, or a lens that’s able to bring far objects close.
Taking gorgeous photos can be done with the press of a single button thanks to the technological advancements of cameras nowadays. Additionally, modern cameras have accurate auto-focus, low light processing, burst speed shutter settings, and more. Their automatic mode is also capable of taking beautiful shots without much fiddling with its settings.
The viewfinder is one of the most important parts of a camera. It is a rectangular-shaped part at the back of your camera that lets you see and frame your subject. Some viewfinders are fully digital, which shows you various details like your shutter speed, aperture, and ISO before you take the shot.
A built-in flash is the part of the camera’s anatomy that produces a burst of light (i.e., a flash of light) when triggered. It has a fixed position on the front or top of the camera to allow it to illuminate the subject. The built-in flash fires only when the camera takes a picture.
A lens mount is the mechanical fitting that allows the lens to attach to the camera. You can only use lenses that match your camera’s lens mounting system. Some camera manufacturers use proprietary lens mounting systems to ensure clients will use their lenses.
A mode dial is one of the most used parts of the camera. It is a small cogwheel situated on the top-right of the camera that switches between the camera’s modes (i.e., ways of operating). Additionally, a camera may have multiple modes, including manual, automatic, and semiautomatic settings, and scene-based.
