The camera is honestly the craziest thing ever invented. I can’t wrap my head around how you can capture a moment in your life with the touch of a button. Even after this video. Like… how? Who thought of it? How did they figure it out? I understand the light aspect, but how tf does a piece of technology capture an image? It’s just crazy to me. It truly is the greatest thing humanity has ever created.
Understand it like this, the way painting works, we simply see and draw which is the most rudimentary way of capturing life moment Camera is doing the same but without painter, just by letting the lights draw (leave impact on film)
Capturing color is pretty complicated, but the simple explanation is that each 'megapixel' is actually several and detect the different wavelengths of color that fall on their small part of the picture. When mixed together they show a "single" color. If you would like I could make a more technical video about this?
I've seen and watched many tutorials on photography in the last few years, but, without any doubt, this is one of the simplest and best tutorials on how a camera works. I'm also amazed at how detailed the final drawing was doing it live and that it shows a very good representation how digital photos are taken. Thank you for taking the time and demonstrating your talent to simplify such a complex subject.
Thanks everyone for all the wonderful comments. We love you guys and are really glad that we could help out. Please share us with your friends and on your Facebook feeds. In a month or two Allversity will finally be launching its website and you will be able to see this and lots of other courses all posted together one one awesome learning platform. So check back with us at Allversity in late spring!
I'm from the future in the year 2020. Most college classes are given online now (because of uhhhh... reasons) and now we can finally watch the lectures in 2x speed!
Camera technology are examples of Sciece marrying Arts. I can understand complex mathematic, car technology and space. But camera technology is fascinating and i really respect those people behind it. Combine camera technology with complex computer… we can capture image of far far away planet systems. Its crazy.
Every so often, I come back to this video that helped me learn the fundamentals of photography and I appreciate the concise, clear, and eye-opening explanation.
That is one word for them! Thanks for adding that in. When I get going on these vides I often find myself forgetting words, that is what makes the comments area some great!
You are a gifted and extremely insightive instructor...WOW I'm both blown away and appreciative of your style of teaching. I've spent a 1 1/2 yrs, taking expensive $$$ classes to really understand my camera. Being dyslexic is though enough to understand an instructor, let alone the complexity of it all, when getting the basics down. I really admire both the how everything works together, to the why, the outcome/or result, from the very beginning to completion of the basic operations of camera (both past & present day sensors. This is my first time watching your content...I appreciate the extra time,and effort and special ways you deliver and have a passionate way of teaching. Yes, your calming voice is fantastic, but it takes on a special 😊 character that is understood by all... Thank you, looking forward to more content.
I only wanted to watch this one video. But you did such a fantastic and clear simple way of explaining that. I subscribed. Cause everyone needs help at times... Great job
This is well broken down, straight to the point, not complicated and helps one comprehend easily. Thank you very much sir, you are doing a great job and it was very helpful to me.
I loved your drawing and simple explanation with your very comfortable voice. It would have been nice with subtitles though, but I'm a new subscriber anyway!
Thanks so much for the compliment! Be sure to share us with your friends. You can see other videos and even take a photography course at our homepage Allversity [dot] com. To answer your question: there are several people cited for inventing film, and in many ways it depends on your definition of what 'film' is. The wikipedia page about 'photographic film' gives a nice little overview!
Great help for beginners.. I've always admired photography and just bought a Canon T3i.. Although there are a lot of other tutorials/guide for intro DSLR out there, I think it is VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS of how a camera works.. and you have done a wonderful job... Thank you!!!
I have a question 👋🏼 If there's a movable mirror like in the diagram and it's used to see things in the viewfinder and you take a picture, will you momentarily not see anything since the mirror moved to allow light into the film?
So what processes of this rudimentary camera exist as hardware on a modern smartphone(other than the lens) and which are replaced by software processes (other than film)? Wondering if software could be used to replace more hardware parts of the camera, eventually.
So is video like on our phone just a camera that is constantly storing the data sent from the digital sensors to the storage, like a bunch of pictures over and over?
Out of all the videos I've seen this really broke down the fundamental concept very well, ive worked in optics making lenses with prisms so that part I can see being applied. Now i kinda wanna see how these chemicals react to light
even though m a commerce student but i was kinda interested in this n the way u explained even i did not have any problem understanding this .. kudos to you! loved your simplistic approach!
And how did they do to make a movie with a traditional old camera if that captured the light. Or did the film cameras work with digital thingies? And how did they find out about the digital sensors?
+Bltch Erica well there was another camera ment for "movies" back then. it did everything the same, thing is, instead of a button, you have a crank. the crank will cycle through a series of flim while you are cranking it up. then you get those pages of film, put into a special machine that will play it for you and voila. you have a scilent movie, cost of 6000$ dollars for you 26-second pornography
ok i know all of this but i am interesting for the phone cams when i take closer magnets to the phone they gonna stuck to the cam only why ??? is there electric coil or another magnet ???
Hey Isabella! That is a very good point. Thanks for putting it in the comments. In retrospect you are probably right, I should have mentioned that. In the end I believe that landed in another lesson. I think it is in the lenses lesson, but sorry it is missing in this one. Oversight on our part. Cheers!
The real technology of this thing called a camera is not the lenses, or the mirror, or the shutter, or the aperture, or the view finder. But it is the film, or the digital sensor. But at the same time they all play their part.
Hi, do you mind if I use this in my project? Im doing a module in second life and I wanted to display this webpage on an object because im giving a virtual tour of how cameras work and it would be nice to have a youtube video on a large screen in my little virtual world. I will make sure to mention you
Thanks so much for sharing our video! We love it. And we are glad that it works for you. I will certainly be doing more videos as we get into summer here and we will keep you posted. Be sure to subscribe to us to get the newest ones sent to you. As for your cellphone's camera: it works the same as every other camer in the world. The only difference is that it probably doesn't have a shutter, many simply capture light from the sensor and record it to the phone's memory.
My brain has been itching to know how cameras work for a while now and i am so thankful for this video as now i can go to sleep peacefully knowing what i know now

Fr, such a complicated yet such a common piece of technology
I often wonder the same thing. Good thing I’m not alone in this
How?

'pixel' bro. 1 megapixel can already create a photograph
YES PLEASE!
So basically today's mobile camera r work on how fast they open and close the holes to get perfect images
Please do!
Dumbed down beautifully. I applaud you, sir.

Dude i can literally fall asleep to your voice, its so calming and chill, wish most calming videos had your voice
Ppl sayin it was to long but i was interested every second of it! Thank you!
Same!
I have genuinely my whole life have been confused on how a camera works, and this actually gave me a good understanding of how it does
My exam's tomorrow and i had no clue about how the camera works until now! You're the best!!!

i think he joked about 2x speed button in college
and not about video, because as i remember, 4 months later it was possible to speed up to 2x

Thanks a lot, i didn't realized i was just 14 minutes away from resolving one of the greatest childhood curiosity of my mind ❤
I like the speed at which you speak. These ppl in the comments section are annoying. This video really helped me. Thank you for making this.

Excellent Job, just love the way you explain the complected things very simply.
Thanks for the encouragement. Be sure to join the course on the Allversity website and learn even more!
Just sent this to a flat earther to prove why you can't catch a solid clear image with a moving camera
Thanks
It's amazing that you incorporated science into this course!

The best explaination on 📷👍👍

You interpret things so beautifully. Thank you.
So is video like on our phone just a camera that is constantly storing the data sent from the digital sensors to the storage, like a bunch of pictures over and over?
This is a better explanation than reading a book or at classes. Thank u
This is real education. Schools should add this type of examples in reflection and refraction chapters so students get some intrest in learning.
How did someone in the 1800s know to do this. I wonder what was the most earliest step and what possessed the Inventor to think of this idea
Most educational thing I ever watched
Incredibly simple and useful! Absolutely loved it! Thanks a ton for whoever creating this video!
Out of all the videos I've seen this really broke down the fundamental concept very well, ive worked in optics making lenses with prisms so that part I can see being applied. Now i kinda wanna see how these chemicals react to light
Have you ever read Plato's cave? Exactly same concepts explained thousands of years earlier, amazing!
How does it work for video? I noticed you can't actually hear the shutter opening and closing when doing video, so, what is it doing?
if this video wasnt here i wouldnt, my HALF background info for my science project, so thx dude.
even though m a commerce student but i was kinda interested in this n the way u explained even i did not have any problem understanding this .. kudos to you!
loved your simplistic approach!

Every one has that picture lol
Marijuana Man I have it for 3 months now dud.
+Bltch Erica well there was another camera ment for "movies" back then. it did everything the same, thing is, instead of a button, you have a crank. the crank will cycle through a series of flim while you are cranking it up. then you get those pages of film, put into a special machine that will play it for you and voila. you have a scilent movie, cost of 6000$ dollars for you 26-second pornography

This helped so much. I had a tech project and this gave me so much information. Definitely showing my teacher. :D
Thank you
You fed my curiosity and explained well. Thanks alot!
One of the best way to explain things
Excellent explanation, good job
Enjoyed thoroughly, and very easy to understand
ok i know all of this but i am interesting for the phone cams when i take closer magnets to the phone they gonna stuck to the cam only why ??? is there electric coil or another magnet ???

Great sound effects!
Thanks for helping me understand how a camera works and a lot of other important things
What program are you using to draw on?
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
gr8 job man ^^
i just wonder how to sense color ? ether on a film or digital sensor ?
thanks agin for your good explanation

nice work mate, ty very much it is very a satisfied video, greetings from Turkey

how do you fit that in a little iphone and great vid
