The document presents an overview of camera components and mechanics, detailing the parts of a camera such as the body, zoom lens, and various controls. It explains the differences between single CCD and 3-CCD cameras, specifically in relation to image resolution, depth of field, and sensor size. Additionally, the document covers key concepts such as resolution measurement, compression ratios, and manual control settings for exposure and focus.

- 25. The Mechanics of Cameras The IMAGING SENSOR is at the heart of any digital camera or camcorder In 3-CCD cameras, light enters the camera lens, passes through a prism and is separated into its three components of Red, Green and Blue. One CCD or Charge Coupled Device is devoted to capturing each of the three colors thereby tripling the potential resolution. 3 CCD Cameras
- 26. The Mechanics of Cameras Single CCD Cameras are usually cheaper and often have a larger CCD to offset lower inherent resolution. The larger the CCD, the shallower the Depth of Field. Our eyes naturally have shallow depth of field, so larger CCD’s replicate reality in a more realistic manner. The largest CCD’s used are about the size of 35mm film frames. Therefore, shallow Depth of Field is generally considered to be more cinematic. Single CCD Cameras
- 27. The Mechanics of Cameras Resolution Resolution is measured in several ways: Horizontal vs. Vertical lines A 640x480 image is low resolution while 1920x1080 is HD Size of Imaging Sensor Sensors come in ¼, ⅓, ½, ⅔, 1” & 35mm - larger imagers capture more information Compression Ratio (compression algorithm) To optimize storage, most cameras use compression. The lower the compression rate, the higher the resolution
