Briefly about cameras

  • A CAMERA is a device for making photographs, the basis of which is a light-tight housing containing a photographic film. When gate opens (usually for a short time), the light from the outside is focused by a lens system on the film. The amount of light falling on the film is controlled by the speed of movement shutter and opening diameter lens, which can also be adjusted with the adjustable IRIS. Most cameras also have a rangefinder, which allows you to focus the image at a given distance to the subject, and a built-in exposure meter, which allows you to determine the correct combination of response speed. shutter and the opening of the aperture in the available lighting. In cameras connected to a computer, these functions (selection of the optimal combination of shutter speed and aperture opening) are automated. Recently, digital cameras have appeared in which a memory device “records” a photograph, after which it can be entered into a computer and printed.
  • A digital camera takes photographs like a regular camera, but records an image on an internal storage device or on a card, so that it can be easily entered into a computer, where it is processed, if necessary, and then printed. Instead of a film, a chip card with flash memory is inserted into the camera. Light striking the silicon atoms on the surface of the card knocks out electrons, which are attracted to the positive electrode. Periodically, the level of electron charge is measured in vertical columns and horizontal lines, from which the image is composed, and the pixels of the residual charge are removed.
  • By its purpose cameras are subdivided into general purpose (or universal) and special.
    The former are often very conditionally and indistinctly divided into "amateur" and so-called. "Professional" and are used for portrait, group, landscape photography, etc.
  • Special cameras intended for photographic work - aerial photography, micro photography, photo-recording, etc. and for obtaining special types of photographs - panoramic, stereoscopic and others. Or they have special devices, for example: a butt, which makes it more convenient to take pictures of wild animals (photo hunting), etc.
  • Cameras are divided according to the format of the resulting image (medium format, small format, etc.), according to the method of aiming and focusing (scale, rangefinder, mirror, etc.), according to the photographic material or photodetector used (film, plate, with in-camera processing, digital and etc.).
