Like in your eye, the image is taken in the camera upside-down, and then it is sent to some mirrors inside it that turn it right-side-up. Of course, that is in old-style cameras that print the pictures out. But in modern-day cameras, it is simply electricity that makes the image possible.

By the phenomenon of refraction of light

----

When a ray of light contacts the surface of the lens it is bent by the change in density between air and the lens material; this is called refraction. The surface of a lens has some degree of curvature. So two rays of light that strike neighbouring points on the lens will be bent by slightly different amounts, because of the curvature. A whole band of light striking the lens will be bent by a whole range of angles depending on where each ray in the band strikes the lens. The consequence is that the lens can bend incoming light into an image.

For some illustrations see the wikipedia article about lenses.

What are the three basic elements of the video camera?

1) The Diaphragme (iris)- Limits the amount of light that goes into the camera. 2) The Lens- Light passes through the lens to form an inverted image in the camera. 3) Charge Coupled Device (CCD)- Absorbs light and emits electrical signals needed to produce a digital image.


What type of device forms images through refraction?

Any device containing a lens, such as a camera or projector, or one which uses prisms such as a periscope.


As an object is brought closer to the lens of a camera the image is?

when an object is brought closer to the lens of a camera it gets smaller so that we could capture it properly. such lenses in a camera are conclave.


Like your eye a camera has a lens that focuses light to form an image But unlike your eye the lens of camera is moved back-and-forth to focus light?

Actually, the lens on your eye moves just like the lens of a camera to focus light. People who are nearsighted or farsighted have trouble focusing on objects that are very close or very far away. Since the lens on your eye isn't as big as the lens on a camera, it's just harder to observe it moving.


What is full frame camera?

Any 35 mm film camera or digital camera, usually a Digital Single Lens Reflex (D_SLR) that uses a 24 mm by 36 mm area on film or which has an image sensor (CCD, CMOS, or other) to form the image.

Which is the advantage of a Digita.l Camera verses a Digital SLR camera?

SLR refers to Single Lens Reflex, or a camera that has one single lens to both view a scene and capture an image. This means that the picture you take will be the same as the image you view through the lens. The advantages of a regular digital camera is that they are slimmer, cheaper, and are easier to use.


A transparent object that refracts light to form an image is called what?

You are thinking of a lens. If it is to form an image you need a convex lens, also called a converging lens.
