The illustration displays a cross-section of a camera and its various features that are relevant to it’s functioning.
Overall, the camera has main features that collect the incoming light through lenses and reflect it towards the pentaprism using a rotating mirror. This image can be viewed through the eyepiece and are captured by the digital sensor and shutter.
Initially, the light travels towards the lens elements that amplify the light to get the best definition of the image. These incoming light rays are observed and reflected back to the pentaprism by the rotating mirror. The rotating mirror is a mechanical movable part in the camera that can move in a arc with one end attached. The mirror is pivoted to achieve the best image based on the requirements of the user.
The image reflected from the rotating mirror passes through the focusing screen for further enhancement before reaching the pentaprism. The image is exposed on the pentaprism and can viewed through the eyepiece. The digital sensor in the camera is used to define the specifications that are used to capture the image. The shutter is the one of the main feature in the camera that is used to capture the image.
