Kuvanlaitteen

Kuvanlaitteen, also known as a digital camera or photo camera, is an electronic device used to capture still images or moving pictures. It consists of a lens system to focus light, a sensor or film to record the image, and a processing unit to develop and store the image. The sensor in modern digital cameras is typically a CMOS or CCD chip, which converts light into electrical signals that are then processed into a digital image.

Digital cameras have largely replaced traditional film cameras due to their convenience, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to instantly review and share images. They come in various forms, including compact cameras, DSLRs (Digital Single-Lens Reflex), mirrorless cameras, and action cameras. Each type offers different features and capabilities, catering to various photography needs and preferences.

The resolution of a digital camera is measured in megapixels, which indicates the number of pixels in the image sensor. Higher megapixel counts generally result in sharper images but also larger file sizes. Other important features include autofocus systems, image stabilization, and video recording capabilities. Advances in technology continue to improve the performance and capabilities of digital cameras, making them essential tools for both amateur and professional photographers.
