The light reflected from the chosen subject outside of the box passes through the pinhole and is inverted and projected onto a surface on a smaller scale inside the encased area opposite the hole. The subject could then be traced.

He discovered how to capture an image by forming an image on a plate of iodised silver, exposing it to mercury vapour, which settles on the exposed parts of the image.

The aforementioned, was a simple box camera that came loaded with a 100-exposure roll of film. LECTURE I N T R O D U C T I O N TO P H OTO G R A P H Y KO DA K C A M E R A , 1 8 8 8.

LECTURE I N T R O D U C T I O N TO P H OTO G R A P H Y MCS 1000 A S P E C TS O F C O M M U N I C AT I O N S DSLRs DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) cameras use a mirror angled at 45 degrees inside the camera body. When a photo is taken, the mirror flips upward, allowing light to pass through the lens and reach both the sensor and the optical viewfinder. This mechanism enables you to see exactly what the lens sees.
