The Kodak Still Cameras
The Basic Elements of All Kodak Cameras
"The keys to Eastman's success in making photography a
popular leisure-time activity for the masses were his development of roll
film and the inexpensive box camera. Although film and cameras are far
more sophisticated and versatile today, the fundamental principles behind
his inventions have not changed"(Kodak, 8).
These are the basic elements of all Kodak cameras:
Lens- A glass or plastic element that collects light and focuses an
image
Diaphragm- An opening that controls the amount of light that can
enter the camera through the lens.
Shutter- The part of the camera that determines the amount of time
film is exposed to the light entering the camera.
Body- The housing of the camera. It does not allow extraneous
light into the camera.
Viewfinder- A lens or frame that allows the photographer to see the
content of the picture that is being taken.
