NOTE:-All camera models are marked differently and will definitely vary in looks and functionality when compared to the image given below. The labels are placed just to make you aware of the different parts of a camera and to introduce you to some words that will be used frequently in the following blog..
Auto Focus [AF]Sensor: This sensor helps the camera achieve accurate focus.It does this by using contrast sensors within the camera{passive AF} which senses the changes the dark light areas of the scenes.Some cameras instead send out infrared beams to illuminate or to calculate the distance to the subject.Some high-end cameras use a combination of both.
Contrast Sensors:- A contrast sensor is a device that uses coloured or laser light sources to differentiate various colours or shades.
Viewfinder:- The viewfinder is the eyepiece through which the photographer looks at the scene to be photographed. There are 2 types of viewfinders----Optical Viewfinder & Electronic Viewfinder[EVF]. An optical viewfinder will show you an image the you see it with your naked eye;it does not reflect any changes in the image although you might have changed the camera settings. An [EVF] shows the true picture. Apart from displaying the camera information,it also displays how the image would look with a the camera settings applied....
Built-in Flash:- Most digital cameras have a built-in flash that provides extra light in the dark. It can also be used creatively along with other lights to provide highlights and remove shadows.

Lens:- digital cameras are equipped with zoom lenses that change the focal length in order to zoom in and zoom out from the scene. Some lenses are marked with 'IS' which stands for Image Stabilization. What this means is that your camera is receptive to a limited camera shake which is most common when taking a zoomed in (telephoto) picture.
