To discuss the importance of Psychology in our everyday lives we

must first understand what Psychology is. The definition of

Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental process;
however, it can be applied to many other things in life. Everything
we do in life is related to Psychology. Psychology is basically the
study of who we are, why we are that way, and also what we can
become.
Psychology is important in many different ways, one example of
why it is so important is, the research that has been done on
many life threatening diseases. By using psychology, psychologist
have studied diseases such as, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's
disease, and many other neurological diseases. Today, we know a
whole lot more about these diseases than we did in the past,
scientist have even been able to produce medicines that may
help victims of these diseases. Psychology is also very important
in the education system.

psychology is the study of people's behavior, performance, and

mental operations. It also refers to the application of the
knowledge, which can be used to understand events, treat mental
health issues, and improve education, employment, and
relationships. The subject lies at the intersection of applied,
educational, and theoretical science.

Common Components
Firstly, let's look at what cameras have in common. Except for
some specialist types of camera, all cameras have the following
basic components:
Body: A light-tight compartment to house the recording
medium (film or CCD).
Lens: A transparent element to focus light rays onto the
recording medium.
Aperture: A method of controlling how much light reaches
the recording medium.

 Shutter: A method of controlling how long the recording

medium is exposed to the incoming light.
Viewfinder: A way to see the image that is to be captured.
Transport: In film cameras, a method of moving the film
and holding it in the correct position.
Types of Camera
SLR (Single Lens Reflex): The viewfinder sees the same
image as the main lens, i.e. what you see is what you get.
SLRs also allow you to change lenses for different purposes.
This is a hugely popular type of camera, pretty much the
standard for enthusiasts and professionals.
Viewfinder (or range finder): In this type of camera the
viewfinder is separate to the lens. This is common in cheap
cameras, although some professional cameras also use this
configuration. The main problem with a separate viewfinder
is that the image you see may not be quite the same as the
image that gets recorded. This limitation is overcome in
professional cameras by using viewfinders that compensate
for the different positions. Viewfinder cameras do have some
advantages; for example, lower noise and higher light levels
to the viewfinder.
Twin reflex: The camera has two lenses one for the
photograph and one for the viewfinder. This type of camera
has certain advantages in some professional situations.
View: A flexible bellows joins two standards one with the
lens and the other with the viewfinder or film. This allows for
unusual types of composition; for example, distorting the
shape of the image by skewing the film plane.
Pinhole: A very simple camera without a lens.
