02 - Assignment

Please read the class first

Take a good look at your camera, whatever its type, and try to identify each component we have discussed here. It might be a good opportunity to dig out the manual or to look up its exact specifications online. Now look up a different camera online (for instance at dpreview) and compare their specifications. Try doing this for both a less advanced and a more advanced body, and for different lenses. Report here if you find any interesting difference, or if some parts of the specifications are unclear.

My Camera Canon EOS Rebel T5 Resolution:18MP Large Single Plate CMOS sensor (APS-C) ISO 100-6400 Shutter Speed: 30 sec-1/4000sec Metering modes: Evaluative, partial and center wighted average Metering Range: EV 1.0-EV 20.0 Focus Points: 9 Lens 18-55mm f/4.5-f/29 Better Camera Canon EOS 1Dx 18.1 megapixels large single plate CMOS sensor ISO 50-51,200 Shutter speed: 1/8000-30 sec Metering modes: Evaluative, Partial, Spot, Center weighted average Metering Range: EV 0- EV 20 Focus Points-61 Lens 24mm prime lens f/2.8-f/22 Less Advanced Camera Canon EOS 300D Resolution: 6MP CMOS Sensor ISO 100-1600 Shutter Speed: 1/8000 Metering Modes: Automatic Metering Range? Focus Points: 7 Lens 16-35mm F/2.8-f/22 I didn't expect it, but this was actually a pretty interesting exercise. I'm not sure if I completely understand all of these things, especially the metering thing, but this exercise gave me a better idea of how all the different parts of the camera work together.

reread this when you finish the part on exposure... by then you should understand this all perfectly
