Digital Camera & Its Specifications: by Vinesh C.H

This document discusses the specifications of digital cameras. It begins with a brief history of digital cameras, invented in 1975 by Steven Sasson at Kodak. Today, Nikon and Canon are leaders in digital camera manufacturing. The document then covers various types of digital cameras and key specifications to consider when choosing a camera, such as sensor type and size, image processor, resolution, aperture of the lens, ISO sensitivity, shutter speed, and video capabilities. It provides comparisons of different options for each specification to help the reader understand important factors to consider for a digital camera.

DIGITAL CAMERA

&
ITS SPECIFICATIONS

By Vinesh C.H
INTRO TO DIGITAL CAMERA
 A digital camera is a camera that
encodes images DIGITALLY and
stores them for later reproduction of
image.
 Steven Sasson who worked as an
engineer at Eastman Kodak invented
& built the first Digi cam in 1975.
 Today Nikon and Canon are the front
runners in Digi Cam manufacturing.
TYPES OF DIGI-CAMS

1. POINT AND SHOOT

2. MEGA ZOOM

3. DSLR (DIGITAL SINGLE LENS


REFLEX)

TYPES OF SENSORS

1. CMOS

2. CCD (Charge coupled

device)
SENSOR SIZE
 Sensor size is the dimensions of the
array of photoreceptors that create the
pixels that become an image.
 Bigger sensors generally produce
better photo quality, but the bigger the
sensor the bigger the camera.
 Larger sensors are also more
expensive to make, so the cameras
are pricier.
SIZE COMPARISION OF SENSORS
IMAGE PROCESSOR
IMAGE PROCESSOR
 An image processor,also called as
media processor,is a specialised
digital signal processor used for
image processing in digital
cameras,mobile phones etc.
 Noise reduction & Image
sharpening are done by the
processor.
IMAGE PROCESSOR
PROCESSORS OF VARIOUS COMPANIES

 NIKON - EXPEED
 CANON – DIGIC

 SONY – BIONZ
 SAMSUNG – EXYNOS

 OLYMPUS – TruePic

 PENTAX - PRIME
RESOLUTION
RESOLUTION
 Resolution is the capabality of the
sensor to observe or measure the
smallest object clearly with distinct
boundaries.
 In genral,its the pixel count in the
sensor.
 If a sensor has N pixels horizontally
and M pixels vertically,then the
resolution of the camera is said to be
MxN Pixels.

APERTURE
OF THE
LENS
APERTURE OF THE LENS
 The aperture is the size of the
opening that lets in light, alternatively
referred to as an f-stop or f number.
 The lower the number the larger the
aperture.
 As aperture size increases, the area of
sharpess in front of and behind the
subject increases
APERTURE
COMPARISION
ISO SENSITIVITY
ISO SENSITIVITY
 A camera's sensitivity to light is specified as ISO
sensitivity.

 The higher the number, the better the camera's


ability to shoot in low light.

 Higher the ISO,more grains in the image.

 For instance, a camera rated up to ISO 6400 will


probably produce decent images up to ISO 800.

 Normal ISO range is from 200 to 1600 in most of


DSLR’s.

SHUTTER SPEED
SHUTTER SPEED

 Shutter speed controls how long the

camera spends collecting light i.e how

much light is taken in at once.

 It is measured in fractions of a second.

 More the shutter speed,less risk of blur.


SHUTTER SPEED COMPARISION
VIDEO CAPABALITIES
VIDEO CAPABALITIES
 The video capabality of a camera is
measured by the unit frames per
second(fps).
 Higher the fps,smoother the video.

 These days cameras come with


either 30 or 60fps.
