Task 2. Functions of a Digital Camera

Differences between Film and Digital Cameras

The major difference between the two is CCD versus film. A CCD is something that attracts light, just like the film did. Sharpening is also a major difference that comes with digital. Digital also uses pixels. Apart from that, there is not many real differences. It is like using different mediums, like oil paints and acryllics.

Below I have chosen 3 different types of lenses and explain what they do and contribute for photography.

Camera Lenses

This is a fish eye lens, In photography a Fish Eye lens is a huge angle lens that takes an extremely wide, hemispherical image. Originally developed for use in meteorology to study cloud formation, “whole sky lenses” soon became “Fisheye lenses” and became popular for their distorted and wide image.

In Photography, a telephoto lens is a specific construction of a long focal length photographic lens in which the physical length of the lens in shorter than the focal length. In these lenses the optical centre lies outside of its physical instruction. Such that the entire lens assembly is between the optical centre and focal plane.

Wide Angle Lens

A wide angle lens is a lens that projects a larger image circle than would really be typical for a standard lens of the same focal length, this enables either large shift & tilt movements with a view camersa, or lenses with wide fields of view.
