Question

How do SLR cameras project the image through the lens to the viewfinder of the camera? Question 3 options: through a series of mirrors through the sensor through refraction of light through the shutter release

Answer 1

SLR cameras use a series of mirrors to project the image through the lens to the viewfinder of the camera. When the shutter is pressed, the mirror moves out of the way, and light from the scene is directed through the lens and onto the sensor. This data is then processed and displayed on the camera's LCD screen.
