DSLR Camera Basic Technical Concepts Infographic

Technical Tutorial Published 6/7/19 Last updated on 6/8/19

I've been trying for a while to create some basic concepts that students can refer back to when thinking about cameras, and I've now managed to squeeze the absolute basics on an A3 sheet of paper.

It's proven quite useful for myself and my students, so I hope it will help others as well.
