Have you ever wondered how a camera works? We use these things to take photos, so it makes sense to understand how they work. Don’t worry; I don’t go into too much detail on some of the tricky stuff!

A camera is a light-proof box with an opening that opens when the shutter is raised to allow light to pass through to the sensor. Or film. This is what happens when you take a photo.

In this episode, I tell you.

• What does the word camera mean, and where did it come from? • What a camera is. • How a camera works. Briefly. • What are the various parts of a camera? • And finally, what I do.

All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in less than 27 (ish) minutes! What is not to love?
