Camera Parts

aperture-the part of a camera that dilates and contracts to control the diameter of the hole that the light passes though, to let in more or less light. It is controlled by the f-stop ring.
shutter-the part of a camera that opens and closes to control the length of time light strikes the film. There are two types of shutters: a leaf shutter, located between or just behind the lens elements, and a focal plane shutter, located in front of the film plane.
exposure-the amount of light collected by the sensor in your camera during a single picture
depth of field-the quality of the picture.  Lower numbers (bigger lens opening) will bring attention to the subject of the picture and not the background, while high numbers will attract many eyes to the background.
f-stop-the focal length divided by the diameter of the lens.
focal length=distance from the lens to the film
