The Past And Present Of Digital Cameras
by Sean Chandler
Being able to capture images brought the idea of the camera into existence. The ideas for the camera are rooted in early Chinese and Greek history. The first photography was attempted by viewing images through some kind of pin-hole device.
The very notion of such an instrument was considered to be a theological concept and inspired from the belief of Divine power. The present day Digital Camera is a descendent of its countless ancestral cameras.
The innovators of the past got an inspiration from the technology used in pin-hole camera and gave them the idea to arrest static pictures. But these devices were far from being portable, as they were so huge that a person could stand inside it.
The available elements in nature made it possible to capture images with this primitive camera. The sun provided the light that went through the pin-hole. The image of the person inside was displayed on a screen, and then hand copied onto available materials.
This kind of camera was surely not meant for professional use; it was just an interesting creation. But latter, a much developed version of portable camera was introduced. The creative enthusiasts of that period then enhanced some features, already existing in previous cameras and made use of darkening chemicals. But, this characteristic of chemicals darkening was revealed when exposed to necessary light required to see the photograph.
The discovery of a substance like gelatin that could allow the images to set and stay permanently was a big leap in the evolution of cameras. But there needed to be a quickness of response to go with this new material and imaging, so a mechanical shutter was invented that could easily be triggered to capture the image desired.
The first recognizable camera was made after a form of film was developed. In the nineteenth century, a black block shaped device was used. It had the same capturing ability that became available with later, more technologically advanced cameras.
Cameras have evolved a great deal over time and have become more available to the consumer. The latest technologies are mostly digital. These digital cameras have many features including video, and ability to transfer the data to storage media or a computer.
