The Shutter and the Aperture are the two controls
the Shutter is used to control how long the Film is exposed for and Aperture is used to control how much light is let in

What does the camera iris do?
The same as the irises of your eyes, it controls the amount of light that passes through the aperture.
What part of a camera controls the amount of light that enters the camera?
The functional opening is the aperture, the opening that controls the amount of light that hits the photosensitive surface. You may have a camera with interchangeable lenses that screw into and out of the camera's body. The opening into which the lens is screwed is not the aperture.
What does F5 camera setting mean?
the F numbers usually refer to the aperture of the lens which controls how much light can enter the camera. it also affects the depth of field.
Why is it important to make sure that not much light reaches the sensor of a camera?
It is important that the sensor receives the correct amount of light. To restrict the amount of light would produce poor results.
What does the diaphragm mean in photography?
The diaphragm, often called the "iris" diaphragm for its identical form and function to the iris in your eye, regulates the physical amount of light allowed to pass through a camera lens. It may be called the "iris," the "diaphragm," the "iris diaphragm," the "stop," or the "aperture." All mean the same thing.Physically, the diaphragm or iris diaphragm is made up of overlapping thin opaque metal plates, usually six or eight, which can be adjusted to increase or decrease the diameter of the hole, called the stop, in the center of the lens. The diaphragm is often located at the optical center of the lens between sets of elements. On manual cameras there is usually a ring around the lens barrel marked in f/stops for adjustment of the diaphragm.The iris (diaphragm) in your eye, working properly, automatically opens or closes in response to light level. When you are exposed to strong light the iris closes down (or "stops" down) to a smaller diameter, decreasing the light reaching your retina (equivalent to the film or sensor in your camera). In dim light, the iris opens up to admit more light. The diaphragm in your camera works the same way, and on modern cameras it's often equally automatic. You may never even notice it's working.In a camera, the iris diaphragm and the shutter have to work together to control the total exposure. The iris diaphragm controls the amount of light, and the shutter controls the amount of light over time. Depending on the make and model of the camera, shutter and diaphragm may be manual, automatic or both. The diaphragm is the mechanism that varies the size of the aperture; the opening that allows light into the camera.
What controls the amount of light that enter the camera at any time?
the ISO setting in your camera controls the shutter speed therefore increasing or reducing the amount of light captured by the film/photocell
What controls the amount of light reaching the retina?
the iris controls the amount of light by limiting the volume of light admitted through the iris.
What lens function controls the amount of light that will exit the lens and expose the sensor?
SHUTTER in Camera controls the amount and time of light that the Sensor will exposed to.
What is the function of a diaphragm in a camera?
It controls the amount of light that reaches the film.
What does the camera iris do?
The same as the irises of your eyes, it controls the amount of light that passes through the aperture.
What part of a camera controls the amount of light that enters the camera?

What is 'irie'?
The colored, and muscular ring around the pupil in your eye. It narrows in bright light and widens when light is dim.It also controls the amount of light reaching the retina
What are 3 things that controls exposure?
Shutter speed, aperture, and ISO are the three main factors that control exposure in photography. Shutter speed determines how long the sensor is exposed to light, aperture controls the amount of light entering the camera, and ISO adjusts the camera's sensitivity to light.
What structure controls the amount of light that gets in the eye?
Iris controls the amount of light entering into the eye.
In which part of the camera controls the amount of light falling on the film?
The aperture of the lens The shutter speed The ISO setting-how sensitive you want the camera sensor to be
What Controls the amount of light entering the microscope adjust what part?
the diaphragm controls the amount of light entering the microscope
How is a camera made?
The lens is made of glass and plastic (or groups of glass elements) and focuses light passing through it on film to reproduce an image. The diaphragm is an opening or aperture that controls the amount of light entering the camera from the lens and so limits the film's exposure to light.
