Digital Cameras: Introduction
- A digital camera is a hardware device that takes photographs and stores the images as data on a memory card
- The digital camera consists of digital optical components to register the intensity and color of light and convert it into pixel data. Digital cameras can also record video in addition to taking photos.
- Pictures taken by digital cameras are recorded by a sensor, called "charged coupled device" or CCD. Digital cameras save photos in digital memory, instead of saving them on analog film. Some digital cameras have built-in memory; mostly they use an SD card or compact flash card.
- In digital cameras, images are captured digitally; hence, unwanted images can be deleted directly on the camera. Numerous digital cameras have a small LCD screen that offers a preview of the image, which helps to capture the perfect picture.
Increased Demand for Digital Cameras
- Portable electronic devices such as cell phones and iPods have inbuilt digital cameras. Digital SLR (single lens reflex) cameras have interchangeable lenses. These cameras are used by photography professionals and capture high resolution images with accurate color.
- Digital photography can be utilized to diagnose dental problems. Digital cameras capture images with superb quality, better than print and slide films. Dentist can view issues that might have been missed by taking digital photos of the patient’s teeth both inside and out of the mouth.
- Digital cameras are utilized in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for civil applications such as law enforcement, firefighting, environmental monitoring, and assessment of natural disasters
