Who invented the digital camera?

Steven J. Sasson (b. 1950) is an electrical engineer who is credited with inventing the digital imaging sensor, while working with supervisor Gareth A. Lloyd at the Eastman Kodak Company.

In 1978, Sasson and Lloyd were issued United States Patent 4,131,919 for their digital camera.

* The charge-coupled device used in digital cameras was invented in 1969 at AT&T Bell Labs by Willard Boyle and George E. Smith.

What was the year they made photography in?

when did film photography start?

1884- Flexible Film

With the Eastman dry plate co. and flexible film

1. The Eastman Dry plate company established in 1879. American George Eastman invents and patents a coating machine for mass-producing gelatin dry plates. In 1881 Eastman and a family friend form the Eastman dry plate co, which eventually leads to the Eastman-Kodak Company

2.George Eastman then introduces the "Kodak" box Camera for the amateur market. It is loaded with 100 exposures on a film roll for $25. It is simple to operate with a three-step process. Once exposed, the camera and the film are sent back to the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Co. for developing.

Features a wooden box covered in morocco leather with roll holder and revolving exposure indicator.

The marketing slogan, "You press the button, we do the rest"

Despite much speculation the word "Kodak" has no significance or meaning. Eastman simple invented a word that begun and ended with his favorite letter, k.

When did Walt Disney make the multiplane camera?

The first multiplane camera was completed in 1937. Its inventor was actually William Garity, a Walt Disney Studios employee who led the team of engineers responsible for the development and building of the multiplane camera. It was Walt Disney's ideas that put the project into motion. Walt was awarded the patent in 1940.

Who made the first movie camera?

It was the first of the Kodak cameras, dating from 1888. As far as I know it was simply called the Kodak camera. It was a box camera loaded with enough roll film for 100 exposures. In the very early days one coudln't change the film oneself. One had to send the camera to the Kodak Company (in Rochester NY). The developed the flim, made prints, inserted new film for 100 shots and returned the whole lot to the sender. (The Kodak Brownie was introduced in 1900). Incidentally, the invention of roll film was essential for the development of motion pictures.

What is framing in photography?

Frame has several related meanings.

First, the photo frame you buy from the drugstore or department store.

Second, in photo editing it means that a picture is to be cropped and rotated.

Third, it can mean a border around the edges of a photo.

In video, a frame is one photo in the series of photos that create the motion picture. A frame is one image which lasts (typically) 1/30 of a second. 1/15 and 1/8 second are also common.

In 35mm roll film, a frame is one 35mm by 24mm rectangle which is one full sized image or a "full frame." To save film, some compact cameras from the 1950s and 60s used half frame (18mm x 24mm) negatives.

The frame counter counts the number of exposures you have left on a roll of film, or on your digital media.

In summary, the answer depends somewhat on context.

Can you use a 1400mAh battery in a camera for 760mAh?

The rating mAh is a measure of the amount of energy that can be stored in a battery. The higher the number, the more energy can be stored. Assuming that the batteries are the same physical size and have the same nominal voltage, there is no reason why a 1400mAh battery shouldn't be used in place of a 760mAh. The only difference is that the larger battery will last longer between charges than the smaller one.

How do you set up the camera in clubpenguin mission 9?

Try all of the trees there are, if that doesn't work you're clicking in the wrong spots.

Can you paint over a photograph?

Yes, acrylic latex paint is a water base. Alkyd is an oil base. You can definitely use acrylic paint to paint your walls. Just make sure it is a high quality interior paint. If you mean 'art paint' when you say 'acrylic' paints, I'm pretty sure that paint is best used on canvases, etc... If you use that particular paint for accents on a wall, just make sure to go over it with a polycrylic.

What is the value of a Polaroid Spectra camera with lens?

The Polaroid Spectra cameras were manufactured from 1987 until 2000, and were considered an advanced edition of the 600 line. They originally retailed for about $249.00, and were aimed at the professional market.

The camera shipped with a 125 mm three-element plastic "Quintic" f/10 lens, although some models apparently have a sharper ground glass lens. The picture quality was superior to earlier Polaroid models. Other new features included red-eye reduction, wider photo format, and the ability to use either auto- or manual focus.

Despite the many benefits of the Spectra, they are not in demand with collectors. One reason may be that the film has been discontinued, and is scare, expensive and expired. A small boutique company, Impossible Project, makes a limited amount of fresh Spectra film, but it's also expensive.

The early Spectras sell for almost nothing -- sometimes less than $1.00, usually no more than $10. The more recent (black) Spectra II commands a slightly higher price, between $15.00 and $50.00, depending on condition.

What happens when you make the hole bigger in a pinhole camera?

Yes.

Option 1 (>1:1 on The Print): Take any photo and have it enlarged until the subject is larger than life size.

Option 2 (>1:1 on The Negative): Expose the image with a subject distance shorter than the camera's focal length.

  • Most pinhole cameras have a fixed focal length. This is the physical distance from the pinhole (lens) to the film plane.
  • If the camera has a 100mm focal length, then any image where the subject distance is < (less than) 100mm will be larger than 1:1 (life size) on the negative

Capturing images inside the focal length (Option 2) of a pinhole camera can create some very interesting perspective. Very small or flat subjects will look "normal", but larger more dimensional subjects will get stretched. The effect can be somewhat like a fish-eye lens.

When was the first permanent photographic image made and who made it?

Sometime in the summer of 1827 Joseph Nicéphore Niépce is credited with producing the world's first photograph, a picture of buildings visible from the rooftop of his home. See the Related Link below.

What kind of film does a digital camera use?

yes it does matter what film is used, Film have different ISO ratings, ISO is the rating of how sensitive it is to light the higher the number the more sensitive the film is. most common is 400 ISO film for Indoor and Outdoor, 1600 ISO is for faster shutter speeds which is great for Action and fast moving Objects/ Subjects.

Taking the above into account, you also need the correct format. 35mm, 120, and the older 110, 126, 127 disc, etc.

While 35mm and 120 can still be obtained quite easily, most of the others are out of production now. A nasty one is Kodak instant film, after Polaroid sued Kodak for copyright infringement, all cameras and film stock had to be destroyed.

You might find a Kodak instant camera, but you'll never get film for it.

How long did it take to take a picture with the first cameras?

This depends on what you mean by the first photo. Many people came up with impermanent photos using a camera abscura.The first photo of known permanance took all afternoon,this is thought to be indicated by the fact that there are no shadows and the seen is lit in a way that there would have been shadows, in places where there should be ,had it been a faster shot. Also,the chemicals used are slow to react.The medium was bismith of judea and lavender oil,it was taken in the begining of the 19th century.

How do you remove a scratch from a digital camera screen?

Many portable electronic devices have coatings on them, such as anti-scratch and anti-glare. The best way to repair them is to fill in and build up the scratches, layer-by-layer; using a repair kit that addresses coated plastics. Since coatings refract light differently (tint), results will be determined by the depth and width of the scratch and tint of the coating. I have listed a good source for a scratch filler, called Scratch Pro, which fills in and protects against light abrasions/fuzzy marks. You can also do a search online using the plus symbol in front of fix and scratch and then add the item you want to fix. For example: +fix +scratch (item to be fixed). Or +LCD +scratch +repair etc.

What are some similarities between a film camera and a digital camera?

Answer

There are many parts to the average point and shoot digital camera, the basics are as follows:

1) The lens. Just like a film SLR camera, this focuses the light coming into the camera onto the device that will capture the image.

2) The CCD or CMOS sensor. This is part takes the light that enters the lens and translates it into a digital signal. The size of the CCD or CMOS varies, from 25mm2 up to 1977mm2 and can contain anywhere from less than 1 million pixels (1MP) to 24 million pixels (24MP) and up. Each pixel is a 'dot' in the image, the more megapixels the more dots that comprise the image. This is not a measure of quality, it is only a measure of size.

3) The PCB. There can be one or more Printed Circuit Boards inside the camera. These process the information and are the 'brains' of the camera. Think of it like the motherboard inside your computer, just much smaller.

4) The memory. This may take the form of built in memory which is soldered to the PCB (non-upgradeable), or it can be removeable memory cards that can be changed at any time.

5) The LCD screen. Most digital cameras now being produced have at least a small LCD screen which allows you to view photos as they are being taken or play them back after they have been taken. The LCD screen is lit by a 'backlight' which shines through the screen allowing the image being displayed to be seen. Without the backlight, the LCD is dark and unviewable.

6) The flash. Most, if not all digital cameras have a built in flash. The flash provides a great deal of light from a very small source and allows the camera to take pictures without blurring the image in dark situations without a tripod.

7) The body. The outer casing of the camera holds all the inner components together and allows the user to easily use the camera without damaging it.

How do you pause your camera during a video?

no, i tried, every time i click pause, it stops the film and starts a new one and it's very frustrating.

Actually you can, it's a bit more work then a typical point and shoot camera. But what you need to do (depending on how long you want the video) is film one long continuous clip, and rather than with a normal camera click the shutter... move the subject... click the shutter again, you move your subject, then take your hands out of frame for a second to get the shot. Do that for all your frames.

Then take a screenshot for each frame you need, just make sure your hands are out and animate it with whatever program you usually do it with

What is the function of film in a camera?

The film in a camera is what actually records the image focused on it by the lens. Film serves the same function as the sensor in your digital camera, but it does so differently. Film is coated with an emulsion made of gelatin in which are light sensitive salts of silver. When exposed to light, these silver halides as they are called become able to be developed chemically into an image which faithfully records the lights and darks of the original scene. The sensor in your digital camera does the same, except that it doesn't require chemical development to view the image.
