so you're telling me you even have a merch store in just 3 months. btw you doing great work bud, so do your channel. Me can say me see your channel grow from less than 500 subs even tho it took only 2-3 moths, lol
Light gets focused, light gets mirrored, screen but it reads instead of displays gets info, info is sent to camera to print. There is very epic explanation 👍
Phones use another variant that is essentially a smaller version of mirrorless cameras. In a nutshell: Remove the big mirror mechanism, make the sensor and aperture smaller.
Actually it kinda does, the aperture just changes the range of how many things can be in focus, not the way you described. As for changing what is in focus, that's just the manual focus ring that's in every single camera lens
@@NotBadJefferBoat Changing how much depth of field blur an image has changes what falls within the acceptable range of “in focus”, thus making the focal plane appear longer or shorter, which I think is what you’re saying. In the video he said that altering the aperture could move the focus from one thing to another, which it can’t.
This video brilliantly demystifies the complex technology behind cameras, making it accessible and fascinating. It’s impressive how you’ve unpacked such an intricate topic, sparking curiosity about everyday marvels. Great job!!
Bro, recently i was wondering about how thermal cameras ACTUALLY worked. I wanted to have a real explanation like here. But every video or the article i've seen was kinda yapping after some point leading to another search. But *this guy* did it, bro wasn't afraid of asking how continuously. And actually went for it. Absolute kudos. You might think i'm exaggerating but it's really a thing for me. We need more people like him
Well that's because the videos and articles you have viewed are for people who are in that professional field, it's not there just to answer a thought in your head.
Thermal cameras see infrared light , not visible light. It’s the same process but the sensors are designed to only see wavelengths bigger than our visible light spectrum
Thermal cameras *feel* long-wavelength infrared light by measuring electricity created through *physically heating* the pixels on the sensor, while normal cameras have filters to block infrared and only allow visible light they *see* by measuring the electricity created by light striking the pixels on the sensor. Actually you can remove that infrared filter to 'convert' your camera to full-spectrum, then optionally add a different filter so it only sees infrared. You'd think your normal camera would then be a thermal camera at that point, and it *kind* of is, though it's not effective because (A) it's only sensitive to infrared wavelengths near the visible spectrum, thus missing much of the thermal data (B) normal camera lenses these days have many advanced optical coatings to cut down on glare and so on which interfere with IR whereas thermal camera lenses are designed for IR specifically, (C) thermal camera sensors use microbolometer sensors where, instead of being like a solar panel that directly responds to light, they're more like little reverse-peltier coolers that produce electricity when the IR physically warms them.
In my 34 years alive, I have never seen a "how do cameras work" video as simple, informative, and concise as this one. Easiest subscribe I've ever done. Bravo to everyone who contributed to this, keep doing what you're doing y'all. Making humanity just a little less moronic one video at a time.
This is exactly what I was asking myself for a while. And I was amazed how people managed to invent the technology to capture a moment in time. Just wonderful!♥
this is the shit 14 year old (and current 24 year old) me would go crazy for. what a good ass channel idea, solving questions i didnt know i had in such a clear way
mozerrella kinda underated ngl. also you are insanely good at explaining things im blown away. please keep doin what ur doing, unless you dont want to anymore then thats fine also. cheddar not bad, goes w too much stuff
misread title as "Do Cameras Even Exist???" was prepared for a conspiracy theory about how all cameras secretly contain tiny painters who just paint whatever the lens points at
It really is magic. Captured lightning representing rocks that think through glass that reflects light. Magic really is real we just take it all for granted. It's fucking crazy
I've always been so got dang confused by how these worked and your explanation is the only one that's managed to really get through to me. Big ups chief
I spent weeks studying and doing video essays on camera science and STILL can’t comprehend how a sensor works. I mean, I can explain it but I still can’t truly comprehend it 😭
I genuinely love your channel. It is my favorite youtube channel ever. You just create such entertaining yet informative videos, the way you make it comedic yet high quality is truly amazing. Just wanted to send a thanks out there
I absolutely love this channel. Your way of dumbing down these complex technologies for the average joe to understand is GREAT. Makes me feel smarter than I am :)
I had cheddar cheese earlier today, but I think mozzarella is just far and away better because I'm not about to put cheddar on pizza. Happy to see more of the content!
God damn I loved that! I didn’t know that the sensors behind the pixels were just detecting. The light allowed through the pixels. For some reason I thought the sensors themselves could tell the color, but that’s so cool.
Makes me wonder so many things. Like, imagine humans that evolved to see everything upside down but we will never know or they died due to evolution not favoring that. Or what animals can see when their eyes are not focusing like ours, like they see all that scattered light instead of just the focused one. How would it be to simulate seeing everything without focusing it or with the eyes of other animals. How to do this. How reality looks like outside our human perspective?
dude these videos are so entertaining and informational! i never actually thought about how touchscreens or bluetooth or cameras work until i found your channel. thank you
These videos are so well put together and entertaining. Watched one and had to watch every single video on your channel. Think your really on to something with these. Great videos!
Well done ! HOWEVER. What you call pixels are more photocytes than pixel. A pixel is made up of several photocytes, (RGB most of time, unless for some technologies such as CCD, but it's not really a thing nowadays). Depending on the methods and the matrix, pixels make an electric signal depending on what are the electrical values of his assigned photocytes. But this is great vulgarisation, thumbs up for you. (And this is quite frankly a mess that depends on the matrix mode of the sensor, the technology (CMOS/CCD), the camera manufacturer and the signal treatment in itself like ARRI that makes 4K out of 3.8K total sensor by predicting what pixel value should be in place of real pixels, nothing is real, it's all simulation, we live in a society)
I’ve not watched nor read about how camera works and I don’t do photography. But you’ve managed to teach me about how it works in 5:37 and I get all of it at the end.
LOVE ur videos. they are so concise and detailed at the same time. and the analogies help a lot! generally i hv to watch around 5 videos, take bits n pieces from each video n put them together to understand the whole concept but now i can just watch one video of urs n understand the whole thing. i really appreciate ur work n efforts. if i could, i would totally donate.
how the hell do you manage to pack such a dense amount of information into such a short amount of time without overwhelming the viewer, and actually make it entertaining, easily digestible, about straight-forward... Honestly, you could probably submit your TH-cam channel to uni and get a PGCE.
every so often this thought pops into my mind, wondering how tf images work. i thought i would never know. i think this might be the best video I've ever seen on youtube

Ok to be simple thay work like this but instead of picking up visible light thay pick up infra-red.
