The Accessories of a Camera

There are lots of accessories can be found for cameras such as the strip, SD card battery extender, tripod, speed- light and many more. But now let us focus on the most important accessories of a camera.


     


The most essential accessories that we should have is the battery without the battery obviously the camera cannot be used. The second one is the strap for safety measures there are strap that we can use after taking a picture by hanging i non our neck. With the battery intact to the  camera if there is no SD card how can we store the pictures that we have taken or even about to taken. 

Basically all the accessories are important but not that essential so it is up to us to make the decision.

Parts of a Camera

    All thing has their own components that are essential fro the functioning, same as camera it also has it's essential part for it to work properly.

    Let us go to the first one which is the lenses (Figure 9.1)
Figure 9.1
. Lenses are like an eye when we are preparing to take a picture, the lens that we use must be inn a top condition that means no dust, or fungus or any other thing that can damage the lens. There are lots of lenses available for cameras but not all of them are compatible with any other camera and each lenses has it;s own length of zoom, maximum aperture and all other stuff that you need .



    Moving on to the next one is the shutter it is the part of when we snapped the image and how fast the light travel through to get the result. And then the focus. Basically when we talk about focus the attention will go to lenses because the lenses are equipped with focus ability. And lastly the viewfinder, the viewfinder is the place that we put  our eyes when preparing to take a picture so basically the photographer would want the picture he took to be exact as the real ones.

The Other Types of Camera

     There are other types of camera that we always forgot they are security camera, spy camera, phone camera and web-cam. These cameras are a part of our daily life either we realize it or not.

Figure 8.1
Figure 8.2
     Lets look onto the first one which is the security camera we usually called the security camera as CCTV, well the reality is there are specific terms for each security cameras available in the world. The first one is called 'Bullet' it is a security camera that is mounted to the wall or ceiling mostly use for indoors. The second one is called 'Dome' (Figure 8.1) got its name from how it shapes and it gives the bad guys a warning that says "this place is being watched". The third one is the 'Discreet Cameras' (Figure 8.2) it's clock, it's a smoke detector and also a motion detector. and others.
                                                                                                                 
     The next one is the spy cam. Basically it is the same as the drone as i mentioned before. So moving on to the next one which is the web-cam, basically web-cam is a gadget that we install on our computer to allow us to be able to video chat with our friend or family online. And last but not least camera phone. The camera on the phone has a lot of function such as taking picture of the note present by the teachers. The specification of the camera phone is usually 3mp to 8mp on a standard smartphone. There is not much to write  on these types of camera, even so wen must not forgot the basic knowledge.

Mainstream Model of Camera

In this era of technology people tend to try or even have the new thing that been sold and this events has also involved the cameras. The mainstream camera that people are looking for are DSLR, INsta-pic. Sport-cam drone and compact.

Figure 7.1
The DSLR (Figure 7.1)  are the main items in term of buying because it is the upgrade version of the SLR, Like I said before photographers prefer SLR because of it's specification. So it is the same case for people nowadays except that they buy it because of following the trend or photography is only a hobby, it does not matter because the numbers of buyers keep on increasing from time to time.


Figure 7.2

 The next one is the Insta-pix (Figure 7.2)
 it is the revive of the polaroid camera where the functions are the same but with few modern additional features to the camera. The re-creation of this camera was under Fujifilm where the polaroid corporation has one bankrupt, so Fuji decided to revive the polaroid camera. And to the suprise the camera got a huge sale because the picture can immedietly be printed after taking a picture.


Figure 7.3
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The third one is the sport camera. There are two companies that manufactures this camera which are GoPro (Figure 7.3) and SJ
Figure 7.4

(Figure 7.4). Between these two GoPro is the leading brand because of its specifications and how they market their names through sponsorship with extreme sports association. The function  of this camera is that it can record and take picture remortely by controlling it through our smartphone. This camera has two functions which are taking pictures mostly "selfies" and also video Plus it can also be took into the water using its anti-water casing. That what makes it the most wanted item of all.
 




Figure 7.5

    And the last one is the "drone" (Figure 7.5)
this type of camera is the hottest items that has been in forums between photographers around the world video and images were posted showing how it really works. This type of camera was inspired from the military where they use it for spying of scouting. The Drone was equipped with its own camera or we can equipped it with our own camera with GPS control antenna so it can be control from as far as 5km and more.The drone is best use when we are about to explore an unknown place or maybe capture image from a very high and unapproachable place.

Modern Generation Camera

As the flow of time affects the change in our life style the flow of time also affect the transformation of camera. In the modern world advanced cameras started to pop up such as digital camera, movie camera cam-coder and also professional video camera.
Figure 6.1
 
   The first one will be the digital camera (Figure 6.1)
. The production of this triggered when Eugene F. Lally was unable to come up with the idea to took picture of the earth from the space then send it back to earth, but then because of the technology the idea was abandoned. Even so in 1975 Steven Sasson an engineer at Kodak built the first electronic camera. On the early stage it was produce for the purpose of military and scientific followed by medicine and news applications. Then in the late 1990's it was started to be mass produced. This camera was famous because on how easy it s to be used with higher resolutions and more advanced specification makes this camera able to be on top of the market until the year 2010.


  Moving on to the next one it is the video camera or movie camera (Figure 6.2)
Figure 6.2
. The function of this camera was as similar to the old video camera but the specification of this camera is different has been increased from years time. With a higher resolution a good video can be taken easily, plus the storage is convenient because it was save inside a data disk so it can be delete easily. Also the sound function has been increase to able the sound to be added or edited easily.



Figure 6.3

And last but not least the professional video camera (Figure 6.3) This camera has the same function as the video camera. But the specification of this camera is higher than the regular video camera. This camera can take higher quality of video with the right settings .
