Answer 2

SLR Single lens Reflex, many cameras have a viewfinder which is usually to one side of the lens and therefore does not show all that the lens sees. An SLR camera allows you to actually see through the lens utilising a mirror and prism for this purpose. This will normally allow you to see 97 to 99% of what will appear as a captured image. This figure changes with different focal length lens and with digital SLR cameras.

Answer 10

ISO is actually a common short name for the International Organisation for Standardization. The ISO setting on your camera is something that has carried over from film. Remember back in the ‘old days’ when you used to go and buy your rolls of film and you would buy film rated at 100, 200 or 400, maybe even 800 or 1600? Well that number refers to the film’s sensitivity to light. The higher the number, the more sensitive to light the film is. The ISO bit is from the standards for film sensitivity, and the number refers to it’s rating.
