Hi everybody. Welcome to Episode 2 of the Photography Explained podcast. This week – How does a camera actually work?

I’m your host Rick and each week I will try to explain one photographic thing to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes without the irrelevant details. My aim is to explain things in just enough detail to help us with our photography and no more.

OK so how does a camera actually work?
A camera is a lightproof box with an opening in it which allows light to pass through to the sensor where the image is recorded.

The lens foucsses the image on the sensor giving a high quality recording of the scene the camera is pointing at.
