Best Answer

Because the pin hole or convex lens of the camera inverts the image being photographed. A ray of light angled downwards will be registered at the base of the film. A ray angled upwards will be registered at the top of the film. Thus inverting the image. It is easier to picture if you draw a ray diagram. Please see the attached link.

Do camera obscuras produce negatives or positives of an image?

The camera obscura is the name for a room that produces images on one wall by using a small hole in the opposite wall. Light passes through the hole and creates an image of the outside of the room. Where there is more light outside, a brighter image will be created on the inside. Therefore, the image wil be a positive one. This is the case for all cameras. The image created is always positive. However, in the case of a camera that uses film, the chemical process generates an image on the film that is dark where more light has hit the film and light where less light has hit the film. It is the chemical process that produces the negative image and not the camera itself. All cameras, including a camera obscura, will produce an inverted and reflected image, so that the image is upside down and back to front. The reason is that light travels in straight lines. It is easy to simulate this by drawing several straight lines through a small aperture. You will see that a beam of light coming from one side of the object will end up on the other side of the image.


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.


Why are images upside-down in a pinhole camera?

You can figure out why an image in a pinhole camera is upside down if you think about how the light travels to get to the image. Light from an object higher (or the top of the object) than the camera travels in a straight line down to the camera. It goes through the pinhole and continues heading down until it hits the back of the camera. This means that the image of something higher than the camera is now low in the image. The opposite is true for light from an object lower than the camera (or the bottom of the object): it travels to a point higher in the image. Still does answer my question, how did the image get upside down? answer was no concusive.

Who invented the firs camera?

The very first camera was invented by the ancient Greeks and Chinese, but it was in 1816 when Nicephore Niepce captured the very first photographic image from a camera he created. And in 1839, together with Louis Daguerre, they invented a camera that can produce clear pictures.
