: : Hi !!
: : I am beginner in this field and used to do photography with
hot shot cameras. Please explain me about SLR camers
: : What is SLR Camera? How does it work and How do I use it?
: Single Lens Reflex (SLR) is a camera with detatchable
lenses. When viewing, the image comes through the lens, bounces
off a mirror,goes through a prism then out the viewing window
(and into your eye). What you see is pretty much what ends up on
the film.
: The advantages of a SLR are mostly in the interchangeable
lenses. You can install extension tubes that allow extreme
close-ups, or put on lenses that range from wide angle to
telephoto. Since these lenses are bigger than lenses found on
point-and-shoot cameras they let in more light and have a higher
optical quality (less distortion), generally yielding better
pictures.
Have I got the site for you...I'm a bit of a layman myself but this site was killer....just the free part answered tons of questions I had about cameras in general. It is a pay if you wish site for more options but as I said there is was no need for me. See what you think if you wish: Best of Luck! http://www.webslr.com/home.html
