DSMC

DSMC refers to the Digital Single-Lens Camera. This type of camera combines the optical system of a single-lens reflex camera with the digital image sensor technology found in digital cameras. In a DSLR, a mirror directs light from the lens to a prism and then to an optical viewfinder, allowing the photographer to see the scene directly through the lens. When the shutter is pressed, the mirror flips up, and the light strikes the digital sensor, capturing the image. This mechanism provides a direct, real-time view of the composition and focus.

DSLRs are known for their interchangeable lenses, which offer a wide range of creative possibilities. They also typically provide manual control over exposure settings such as aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, appealing to photographers seeking greater control over their images. The ability to change lenses, coupled with advanced features and image quality, has made DSLRs a popular choice for both amateur enthusiasts and professional photographers. They have largely replaced film-based SLR cameras and were the dominant type of interchangeable-lens digital camera for many years. However, mirrorless cameras, which lack the mirror mechanism, have gained significant popularity in recent years.
