About Photography Basics, Cameras and Exposure
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
This unit is about how a camera works and how exposure is set. The mind map 3 fundementals. lays out ISO, shutter speed and aperture side by side: shutter speed as the time the sensor is exposed to light, and ISO as sensitivity to light. The mind map Manual Exposure Control and the flashcard decks Aperture and Shutter speed go deeper on each setting.
Beyond exposure, you will find resources on focus, focal length, white balance, resolution, lighting, angles and backgrounds, and types of lenses. A few look at digital photography more broadly, such as the mind map on photography in the era of web 2.0.
Where to start
- Open the mind map What is photography? or the notes Camera Basics for an overview.
- Move to Camera Parts Quiz and the flashcard deck PARTS OF A CAMERA to learn the vocabulary.
- Work through the three exposure settings with the maps and decks named above.
- Try Understanding Depth of Field (DOF), which asks which variables do not control depth of field and how camera-to-subject distance matters.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first to see how the ideas connect, then take a quiz on the same topic. Where an answer surprises you, go back to the matching map branch or flashcard. Camera Settings and Camera Modes suit this approach well.
The flashcard sets labelled by week, such as WEEK 2 - CORRECT EXPOSURE and WEEK 4 - Wide Depth of Field, follow a course-like order, so they work for step-by-step revision. Teachers can pick a quiz or deck and set it as ready-made material.
Where this unit fits
This unit sits in the Photography Foundations strand of the Photography and film subject. It covers the starting skills that the rest of the strand builds on.

Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map What is photography? or the notes Camera Basics to get the overall picture. Then try Camera Parts Quiz to check you know the main parts. After that, move on to the maps and flashcards about aperture, shutter speed and ISO.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
They cover the three exposure fundamentals of ISO, shutter speed and aperture, plus manual exposure control, focus, the DSLR camera, compact system cameras, visible light and setting up the shot. Some also look at how digital images have changed photography.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary from one resource to the next.
Who are these resources suited to?
They suit school students revising a topic, university students filling gaps, and teachers looking for ready-made material. The mix leans towards school and general level, with smaller shares at university level, so beginners will find plenty to work with.
Which quiz tests depth of field?
Understanding Depth of Field (DOF) is the one to try. It asks which variables do not control depth of field and about the relationship with camera-to-subject distance. The flashcard deck WEEK 4 - Wide Depth of Field is a useful companion.
What if I can't find what I need?
Make your own. A free account lets you save quiz scores and create your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, so you can fill any gap with material that matches your course. Meanwhile, browse the flashcard decks on focus and focal length.
