Easy words for kids how does a camera work?

When you take a photograph of an

object, light from the object travels to the camera and is

refracted by the lens, forming an image on the film.

The image on the film is a real

image because light rays actually meet there. The image is smaller

than the object, because the object is a lot further away than the

focal length of the lens and the image is inverted but the camera

flips the image so that we see it the right way up.
