More light is able to get in in a shorter amount of time. If you leave the pinhole open longer, if it's a sunny day, or you point it at the sun, the image will get more light. Pinhole cameras can be lighter if those were the conditions.

A large hole in a pin hole camera lets in too much light and cannot "focus" the light to create a clear image. Hence the name, "Pin Hole" camera.

A small hole gives a sharper image because there is not as much light entering the lens of your eye. The smaller the hole, the dimmer the image will be.

more light is being allowed in. a smaller hole in your pinhole camera creates a sharper image

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.


How a camera produces images?

Light reflects off of all objects that you see around you. The light enters the camera through a lens that focuses the light onto the sensitive plate (film, or sensors in a digital camera). The plate captures the image and it is processed either chemically, if an analog camera is used, or by downloading to a computer or other digital image processor.


What type of image is formed by the lens of a camera?

a upside down image is formed in your camera then flipped around when it is seen by the human eye -Monica Magallon


Why does the lens flip and decrease the size of the picture in a camera?

The lens is convex (curved outward). Light entering the lens from the outside is refracted (bent) as it travels through it. This brings the image to a single (focal) point. The distance between the lens and the back of the camera is such that it allows a small image of the photographed scene to be visible (the picture). The image is inverted because of the refraction of light through the lens.


What happens to the size of the image if the object is moved closer to the lens of a camera?

The size of the image has no relevance to how close or far a lens is from its target, regardless if the camera is digital or not. If the camera is set to save images at 800x600, it will still be 800x600 no matter where the lens is focused.

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.


How does the pinhole camera use light?

A camera admits light through an opening to expose an image on film. To get a sharp image if the light is not bright, you need a large hole, but the larger the hole, the more blurred (unfocused) is the image. But if you make the hole as small as a pinhole (like poking a pin through cardboard), you will get a focused picture if the light outside is bright enough. If the hole is any larger than that, you need to put a lens in the hole to focus the light. The larger the hole, the dimmer is the scene that you can capture, but the larger the lens, the more complicated is the optics (the physical design of the glass lenses, using several lenses in a row).


What is the purpose of lenses on a camera?

The lens performs two main functions; it controls how much light enters the camera by changing the aperture. The aperture is a variable sized "hole". With a smaller aperture, less light enters the camera and also more of the image will be focus. The other major function is to bring objects into sharp focus onto the focal plane of the camera (where the sensor or film is).
