Development of digital photography

!±8± Development of digital photography

The era of digital photography will begin when two scientists (George Smith and Willard Boyle), the device invented by the name of "Charged Coupled Device" (CCD) in 1969. Since then, the CCD has been widely used for the manufacture of modern digital cameras. And 'the heart of all digital cameras and is now called the image sensor. These two scientists had never thought that the CCD is widely used in digital cameras, the time that he invented the first solid-state CCD camera (under development1970), enough to give sharp images on TV (1975) could be used. The two scientists does not mean it that way.

1.Introduction first digital camera - Mavica

While the invention over the world had to wait about five years to see a breakthrough in digital photography. In 1981 Sony Corporation led an international reputation for the first prototype digital camera that is Mavica (Magnetic Video Camera) was. This new camera called the Mavica was an electronicallycamera CCD chip is operated with two images recorded with magnetic impulses on a compact two-inch diameter still-video floppy disk. But the first digital cameras for the mass market in the mid-nineties.

It may be connected to a computer via a serial cable. For example, cameras in these systems have been supplied with Apple Quick Take 100 camera bag (17 February 1994) with a home computer via a serial cable worked. The other models were similar digitalmarketed by Kodak (DC40 camera March 28, 1995), Casio (Casio QV-11with LCD Monitor at the end of 1995) and Sony (Cyber-shot digital camera in 1996).

2 Image Software and Digital Printer

Although there were several producers came up with different types of digital cameras, none was as popular as Kodak DC40 digital camera, producing for the mass market. Introduce then, both Microsoft and Kinko's along with Kodak's digital imaging softwareWork stations and corner shops. Consumers may use the software and socket corner of photo and photo CDs and development such as adding digital images to documents. Similarly, IBM has worked with Kodak, the introduction of Internet-based network for exchanging images. At the same time was the Hewlett-Packard, the company pioneering in the first ink jet printer color that consumers have a good quality image, which was a boost to the popularization of digital printing has contributed to the fact thatPhotography.

3.True Digital Camera

May record in 1988, Fuji has developed the real digital camera, DS-1P, the images in the form of computer files. Another feature of this camera was its internal memory chip with a capacity of 16 MB while the use of ill-treatment to save. It was noted however, that this Fuji camera ever in the United States, or not marketed in Japan. As such, it is reasonable to assume that was the first commercially produced Fotomania Logitech digital camera (in1990), who was also appointed as a Dycam Model-1. This camera uses a CCD sensor, the images are stored digitally and then transferred to the cold Personal Computer (PC).

The background and development of digital photography to emphasize that the future of digital photography. This is already proven, as demonstrated by recent market studies indicate that in 2006 some 35 billion images were printed or Western Europe.
