Fotokamera

Fotokamera is a term that generally refers to a camera used for photography. The word itself is derived from Greek words meaning "light" and "write," signifying its function of capturing images by recording light. The fundamental principle of a fotokamera is to allow light to enter a light-sensitive medium, such as film or a digital sensor, for a controlled period.

Historically, fotokamerasy involved a dark box with a lens to focus light onto a plate or film. Early examples were cumbersome and required long exposure times. Over time, technological advancements led to smaller, more portable, and more sophisticated fotokamerasy. The invention of roll film revolutionized personal photography, making it more accessible.

The advent of digital technology brought about a significant transformation in fotokamera design and function. Digital fotokamerasy use electronic sensors to capture images, which are then stored as digital files. This eliminated the need for film and chemicals, offering instant review of images and the ability to store thousands of photographs. Today, fotokamerasy range from simple point-and-shoot devices to advanced professional-grade equipment, with many modern smartphones incorporating highly capable fotokamera systems.
