How does a camera work?
CLOSED SHUTTER:
1. Rays of light are shone through the lens and onto the reflexive mirror.
2. When the ray of light hits the reflexive mirror, it reflects the ray of light onto the pentaprism
3. Once the ray of light hits the pentaprism, the ray then reflects from the top right corner of the pentaprism.
4. From the top left corner, the ray of light then reflects to the bottom left corner and into the eyepiece
5. Once the ray of light goes through the eyepiece, you can then see the image through the eyepiece!
6. (Refer to diagram below)
OPEN SHUTTER (MOMENT OF SHOOTING IMAGE):
1. Rays of light are shone through the lens onto the film
2. Once the light hits the film, the rays of light stay in the film, making it so there are no rays of light reflecting anywhere.
