Who invented the digital camera?

Donald

Digital camera is the abbreviation of digital camera, also known as digital camera. Digital camera is a kind of camera that uses electronic sensors to convert optical images into electronic data.

The digital camera was invented by Cezanne. Cezanne 1973 joined Kodak Laboratory in Rochester, new york, USA after graduating from master's degree and became an engineer in the applied electronics center. 1974, he undertook the important task of inventing the "handheld electronic camera". 1975, the first digital camera prototype was born in Kodak laboratory in Rochester, new york, USA, and Cezanne became the "father of digital cameras".

Basic characteristics of digital cameras

1, more accurate framing

The unique reflector and prism design of SLR camera allows photographers to directly observe the image through the lens from the viewfinder. So the images seen by the photographer are completely consistent with the images taken. Ordinary digital cameras can only see the captured images through the LCD screen or the electronic viewfinder (EVF), which is different from and not completely consistent with the images captured by the camera lens.

2. Higher imaging quality

Image sensor (CCD or CMOS) is one of the most important core components of digital camera, and its size is directly related to the shooting effect. The larger the area, the higher the imaging quality, and the image sensor size of digital SLR camera far exceeds that of ordinary digital camera.

3. Rich lens selection

Ordinary digital cameras only have one lens fixed on the fuselage in advance, which is irreplaceable. The focal length and aperture range of each camera are very limited, so it is difficult to achieve the purpose of multi-purpose of one camera. The lens of SLR digital camera can be changed at will (as long as the bayonet matches). Canon, Nikon and other brands have huge autofocus lens groups, from super wide angle to super telephoto, from macro to soft focus. Users can choose matching lenses according to their own needs and hobbies.

4. Excellent manual control ability

Most ordinary digital cameras mainly shoot automatically, and the function of manually adjusting parameters is very limited. However, due to the ever-changing environment and subject, it is difficult to adapt to the actual needs of shooting only in automatic mode, not to mention that many skilled "color friends" like to manually set their own shooting parameters to create unique photographic works. Ordinary digital cameras simply can't meet this requirement.

5, rich accessories

An important difference between digital SLR and ordinary digital camera is its strong expansibility. In addition to continuing to use additional lenses such as polarizers and interchangeable lenses, you can also use auxiliary equipment such as professional flashlights to enhance your ability to adapt to various environments.
