Gourt Home::Gourt :: Still camera
A still camera is a device used to take photographs. Traditional cameras capture light onto photographic film. Digital cameras use electronics, usually a charge coupled device (CCD) to store digital images in computer memory inside the camera, which can be transferred to a computer for later processing.
The still camera may be divided in a number of types (note that some cameras fall into more than one category):
- View camera
- Field camera
- Folding camera
- Compact camera
- Press camera
- Viewfinder camera
- Rangefinder camera
- Twin-lens reflex camera
- Single-lens reflex camera
- Digital camera
- Autofocus camera
- Box camera
- Disposable camera
- Pinhole camera
- Instant camera
- Stereo camera
