A student studying the similarities and differences between a camera and the human eye makes the following observations:
(I) Both the eye and the camera have convex lenses.
(iI) In order to focus, the eye lens expands or contracts while the camera lens moves forward or backward.
(III) The camera lens produces upside-down real images while the eye lens produces only upright real images.
(IV) A screen in a camera is equivalent to the retina in the eyes.
(V) A camera adjusts the amount of light entering it by adjusting the aperture of the lens. In the eye, the cornea controls the amount of light.
