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!!
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!♥
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.
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.
I'm really amazed by how broad range of things that are made possible with combination of electricity and 0's and 1's. They are literally the backbone of all these technologies.
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
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

ChatGPT answer: Cameras "see" by capturing light that reflects off objects and recording it through a series of optical and electronic processes. Here's how they work step by step: 1. Light enters through the lens: Light from the scene (what you want to capture) enters the camera through its lens. The lens focuses the light onto a sensitive surface inside the camera. The lens has a set of glass elements that bend or "refract" the light to direct it towards the camera's sensor or film. 2. Aperture controls the amount of light: The aperture (a small opening in the lens) controls how much light enters the camera. It can open wide to let in more light in darker conditions or narrow down to limit the light when it's bright. The aperture is similar to the pupil in your eye, adjusting to control the amount of light that passes through. 3. Shutter controls how long light hits the sensor: The shutter is a mechanism that opens and closes to control how long light is allowed to hit the camera’s sensor or film. When the shutter is open, light hits the sensor for a specific amount of time (called the exposure time), determining how much light the camera captures. Faster shutter speeds freeze motion, while slower speeds allow more light in, which is useful in low-light situations. 4. Sensor captures the light: Digital cameras use an image sensor (typically CCD or CMOS), which is an array of tiny light-sensitive cells called photodiodes. When light hits the sensor, it generates an electrical charge proportional to the amount of light in each area. The more light, the higher the charge. The sensor converts the light into electrical signals that are then processed into an image. 5. Color detection: Light is made up of different wavelengths, which correspond to different colors (red, green, and blue are the primary colors for digital sensors). To capture color, most digital sensors have a Bayer filter (a grid of red, green, and blue filters) placed on top of the sensor. This filter allows the sensor to capture color information by blocking or passing specific wavelengths of light. Afterward, the camera's processor combines the red, green, and blue data to create a full-color image. 6. Processing the image: The electrical signals generated by the sensor are sent to the camera’s processor (often called an image processor), which converts these signals into a digital image. The processor adjusts the image based on settings like exposure, white balance, and color correction, before saving it to a memory card as a digital file (usually JPEG, PNG, or RAW format). 7. Displaying the image: Once processed, the image is displayed on the camera’s screen or stored for later viewing and sharing. In summary: Cameras "see" by allowing light to enter through the lens, which is focused onto a light-sensitive sensor (or film in traditional cameras). The sensor captures this light and converts it into electrical signals. The signals are then processed to create an image, which is stored digitally for you to view. The process of focusing, capturing light, and interpreting it into an image is similar to how our eyes perceive the world, but with the added step of digital processing.
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
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!
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’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.
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 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 :)
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
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
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.
we are so back
