Picture PerfectPictures help revisit memories. Today, these images are retaken until the image is perfect. This type of camera is called a digital camera, a device that records an image in an image sensor to process the photo. This mechanism displays images on the camera screen and all images are saved to a memory card. If desired, unwanted images are deleted from the camera. Many different models, in all sizes and prices, are available for all photographers. A digital camera, although complex for some, is an excellent investment in a world of ever-changing technology. The camera has been thought about for many generations. The first camera was called the camera obscura (8). It was a box with a hole on one side that would allow an image to be processed (8). The machine reverses the image received through the hole and projects it onto the opposite side of the box (8). At the beginning of the 1800s, Nicéphore Niépce developed the first permanent painting (8). He used a special photosensitive chemical paper that took eight hours to develop (8). Over time, exposure time decreased and improvements were noted. In 1888, George Eastman, the founder of the Kodak company, introduced the box camera. The box camera was smaller than the camera obscura and was now available to the public for the first time. The camera has improved since the first photo was taken. Digital cameras were invented to keep up to date with recent technology. One example was NASA's desire to send images from space to Earth (Marples). NASA used a CCD, or charge-coupled device (Marples). A CCD is a computer chip that allows the transformation of light into electrical waves (Marples). The first try resulted in unclear photos, and a better option was needed (Marpl...... middle of paper...... once the images were taken (3DTV). The camera will capture the intensity, color and direction of light at the same time to allow you to choose the focus (3DTV). Because the camera has this capability, images will be captured in 3-dement (3DTV). plans to revolutionize cameras because it is not required to focus, unlike a traditional digital camera (digital trends). A regular digital camera in automatic mode can adjust the shutter speed and flash. but not focus (digital trends). , digital cameras have a big influence day by day A basic digital camera is easy to use for the most part. The camera will continue to evolve with technology. Although the digital camera is a complex machine, with a little time and patience the camera is. a great investment for all users.
