what is a DSLR camera?




Christy


also what does like a 500D camera mean or a 3100D


Answer
Hi,

Digital Single Lens Reflex.

It's a digital camera, with a mirror in it that moves the light around your body so you see it through the viewfinder. When you take a picture, the mirror goes down and lets the light go to the sensor and that is how a picture is taken. They are great cameras.

500D is from Canon, D3100 is from Nikon. Canon uses the D letter at the end of the model number, while Nikon uses it infront. Canon also calls their models a little bit differently in the USA and Japan - for example, the 500D is actually T1i in Japan.

Does the F number in an dslr camera lens mean it can focus the subject closer? ?




neddy


eg: a 50mm f4 lens would zoom in more than a 50mm f1.8 lens?


Answer
no, the f no. is the aperture value. smaller number means the aperture opens bigger and let more light in
