What spectra does it focus on?
The digital camera focuses on all
visual light. Furthermore, the digital
camera must capture all the spectra
that we can see in the physical state.
What is the use of the object
The purpose of the digital camera is
to take and store pictures/ videos in
an electronic format so that it may be
transferred to a computer or other
digital mechanism.
 History
Idea came from Eugene F. Lally
His idea : mosaic photo sensor to capture digital images
Digital camera was created by Stephen Sasson, an engineer at Eastman
Kodak
Created in 1975
For image sensors, the first ones used a camera tube. The later and more
modernized digital cameras just digitalized it.
By the 1990s, digital camera became widely used by consumers
By the 2000s, they have out passed the film camera
The digital camera was important because of convenience. No longer did
consumers have to carry around film, with a click of a button they could have
their photograph and a captured memory.
 First digital
camera
Took 23 seconds
to take the first
photograph
To show image,
data would be
translated and
displayed on a
television screen.

Analogue and Digital
Analogue
Subject Lens
The lens focuses and captures the light reflected off of the
subject
Lens Mosaic Filter and Image Sensor Analogue
Electronics
The photosites on the sensor measure the brightness of the
light. The color information is formulated through either a
green, red, or blue filter. The demosaicing process turns this
information into the complete color grid and records it.
Digital
Analogue electronics Analogue digital converter
The analogue electronics gives a signal to the
converter, which is then turned into digital data.
It utilizes the same binary language as a
computer.
Analogue digital converter Digital image
processing Buffer SD Card/ storage
These systems Crunch the large amount of
data and then store it. The storage card can be
inserted into a computer monitor and transfer
