Camera Evalutaion

In 3 sentences: Cameras have evolved from early camera obscuras that simply projected images to modern digital cameras. The first true cameras were daguerreotypes in the 1830s, which captured plates after long exposures, followed by cameras using emulsion plates and dry plates that shortened exposure times. Digital cameras revolutionized the industry in the 1990s by allowing for instant deletion and retakes of photos.

The

EVOLUTION
of the
CAMERA
WHAT
is a

CAMERA?
A camera is a device that records/stores images. These images may be still photographs or
moving images such as videos or movies. The term camera comes from the camera obscura
(Latin for "dark chamber"), an early mechanism for projecting images. The modern camera
evolved from the camera obscura.

Cameras may work with the light of the visible spectrum or with other portions of the
electromagnetic spectrum. A camera generally consists of an enclosed hollow with an
opening (aperture) at one end for light to enter, and a recording or viewing surface for
capturing the light at the other end. A majority of cameras have a lens positioned in front
of the camera's opening to gather the incoming light and focus all or part of the image on
the recording surface. Most 20th century cameras used photographic film as a recording
surface, while modern ones use an electronic camera sensor. The diameter of the aperture
is often controlled by a diaphragm mechanism, but some cameras have a fixed-size
aperture.

The still camera takes one photo each time the user presses the shutter button. A typical
movie camera continuously takes 24 film frames per second as long as the user holds down
the shutter button, or until the shutter button is pressed a second time.
From its inception, the camera has been instrumental in the recording of still images from
then-present surroundings, and further modifications led to the development of motion
picture sequences in the late 19th century. Cameras and the exhibition of camera-captured
images are widely used in both professional and consumer settings in the 21st century for
both mass and interpersonal communication purposes.

The

The light from an

It’s more of a projector than a camera actually.

Since it can’t really store the image.

It just projects it.


Here is a
picture of it
The very first
TRUE
CAMERA
is the TIME: (1830s+)

Daguerreotype
Which uses a special copper plate to
capture the light from the image.

The only problem is:

It takes up to
15 minutes
of EXPOSURE
to fully capture the image.
Makes you feel sorry for these guys:

Notice the frowns on their faces.


Then…
EMULSION PLATES
were INVENTED.
TIME: (1850s+)
which only take
2-3 seconds
of exposure time.
Then…
DRY PLATES
were born. 1850
which can be stored for future use.
These cameras were

BIG.
And looked like
the monster
tripods from
the
‘War of the
Worlds’
movie.
But…
The world needed
portable cameras
1880
So it was invented by…
John Strognofe
It is…
Then..
flexible roll films were
created by
George Eastman
It made
portable cameras
possible.
The
35mm Film
Became THE
STANDARD
for cameras and is
still being used NOW.
The
FIRST
35mm film
camera

1914
After 30 years later…
POLAROID 1948

CAMERAS were born.

Photos didn’t really come out
EXACTLY like what you’d see
in the viewfinder though.
What
happened to

SO…
SLR CAMERAS TIME: (1948)

were created.

which were the FIRST

CAMERAS
Everything was going well for
our photographers,
UNTIL…
TIME:
(1991)

DIGITAL
CAMERAS

Which have greatly


CHANGED
the way cameras work.
Now, there’s no
NEED
to get perfect photos.
ou can easily DELETE ugly shot
and just take another one.
THANKS to technology
Cameras can now be found
ANYWHERE

Cameras are
