How does a Camera work?
A camera is a device that captures images. It consists of two parts - the lens and the film or sensor. The lens focuses light onto the film which then records an image.

How does a Camera work?
The camera is a device that captures light and records an image. The camera is made up of a lens, a shutter and a light sensitive film. The lens focuses light onto the film, which reacts to this light by recording it on its surface. The shutter controls how long this reaction occurs for: if you open your shutter too long or too little time will pass before anything can be seen through your viewfinder!
The Process
To understand how a camera works, you need to understand the process of taking a picture. The process of capturing an image is called exposing an image. This can be thought of as putting light on your subject and recording it onto film or sensor. When you're taking pictures, there are several different steps involved in exposing them:
Making sure that your shutter speed is fast enough for your camera's lens (this allows for clear images)
Fixing focus by adjusting your lens aperture setting (this allows for sharpness in areas where focus should be sharp)
The Building Block of all Cameras - the Pinhole
The building block of all cameras is a pinhole. A pinhole is simply a small hole in a piece of cardboard or paper that lets light through, allowing you to take pictures without using an actual lens.
The image you see on your camera’s LCD screen is formed by light traveling through this tiny hole and onto your camera sensor (the part where we record information about what we see). It takes more time for light to pass through these tiny openings than it does for other openings like lenses or mirrors, meaning that images will be less clear if they are taken with such a device rather than one that uses lenses or mirrors.
Light and the Lens
The lens is a transparent piece of glass or plastic that focalizes and focuses light. It also helps to form an image by creating it on the sensor, which is placed behind the lens.
The only way to get a clear picture through your camera's lens is if you have clear, bright light coming from all directions. The more light there is coming through your lens—in both quantity and quality—the better quality pictures you'll get out of it.
If your camera has multiple lenses (sometimes called "lenses"), those different types work together to refocus incoming rays onto different parts of your sensor depending on their distance from you when they enter into each one: some will be closer while others are farther away; this allows them all access without causing any distortion due to converging rays being focused at specific points rather than being diffusely spread throughout all angles simultaneously."
The basic concept of a camera is not as simple as it looks.

There are many things that make up the camera, but the pinhole camera is the building block for all cameras.
Conclusion
In conclusion, a camera is a device that takes images and stores them on film or digital memory. The process of creating an image from light in the form of a photograph requires several different elements working together to produce an image. The first step is for light to hit the lens which focuses it onto the film or digital sensor. Then there’s another stage where this image can be captured onto another surface like paper or canvas before being printed out at home or abroad!
