The history of photography began with the discovery of two critical principles: The first is camera obscura image projection, the second is the discovery that some substances are visibly altered by exposure to light. There are no artifacts or descriptions that indicate any attempt to capture images with light sensitive materials prior to the 18th century.
The history of the camera began even before the introduction of photography. Cameras evolved from the camera obscura through many generations of photographic technology – daguerreotypes, calotypes, dry plates, film – to the modern day with digital cameras and camera phones .
A digital camera, also called a digicam, [1] is a camera that captures photographs in digital memory. Most cameras produced today are digital, [2] largely replacing those that capture images on photographic film or film stock.
Digital photography uses cameras containing arrays of electronic photodetectors interfaced to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to produce images focused by a lens, as opposed to an exposure on photographic film. The digitized image is stored as a computer file ready for further digital processing, viewing, electronic publishing, or digital printing. It is a form of digital imaging based on ...
Digital imaging or digital image acquisition is the creation of a digital representation of the visual characteristics of an object, [1] such as a physical scene or the interior structure of an object.
