How Does a DSLR Camera Work

Using 3D animation, lets take apart a DSLR to understand how a camera works! We will closely look how the aperture, shutter and sensor work.

[@discoepfeand]

can't imagine how much effort went into animating that. The lens stuff in particular, wow!

[@MrClauried]

The effort was really simple and efficient. Respect

[@emmanuelniiayihammon]

yOUR page is so underatted.. You deserve so much more recognition

[@animationsxplaned8835]

Thank you!!

[@chetansai1478]

And much more videos

[@karimkerachni3939]

Couldn’t agree more !!

[@black_knife4582]

This is the best explanation of the funkton of the aperture and depth of field i have ever seen. I always wondered how this really works

[@ingmarboesenberg8025]

Really well described and clearly a lot of effort put in. I find it amazing that more people do not follow your work. Keep it up!!

[@feelingzhakkaas]

THE BEST INFORMATIVE ANIMATION EVER, DESERVES A BIG APPLAUD AND REWARD. OUTSTANDING. GOD BLESS

[@a.n.c.l5487]

Loved the animation. But I think the f1.4 should have been brighter than f22.

[@Joey.S]

Yes, that threw me off, he mixed those up

[@traveller2810]

As a photographer, it was very interesting to watch

[@ambromedia]

This explained so much and made a lot of topics clear to me. I had so much trouble finding a source as descriptive as this video.I am a lot more wiser now.

[@owlredshift]

I went through maybe 7 videos that were dudes talking about how to take photos before I got to your video, which not only informed me of what I sought, it connected pieces I've known for years but never saw the greater picture of. This work is SO PERFECTLY succinct and informative, I commend you. It's masterful. I kept thinking 'why isn't this front and center on 'Wikipedia: camera' ?? Alas, maybe it's just out of the focal plane. Eh?? Eh?!

[@kasperchristensen8416]

Exceptionally good explanation and visuals! Hands down the best one I've seen on KZbin.

[@animationsxplaned8835]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@mamdoohal-nassirat1627]

This is your best one yet.. would you do a continuation on how the cpu processes it and then displays it on the screen? What’s the mechanics behind that? 🙌🏻👍🏻

[@zynulh]

Really u deserve Gold play button, u cleared so many concepts of camera mechanism which we never heard before, u brooke down into individual pixel which is so impressive

[@tarakantmantri5146]

Woow. Such a clear explanation. I finaly found what is an ISO is. Awesome

[@TheFangmeister]

amazing explanation, thank you so much!! Really helps in terms of a medical application as well with ophthalmology

[@abcdef-bz7ew]

Bro, thanks alot for giving this kind of knowledge for free. I have no words to thanked you. KZbin is created mainly for people like you. Will recommend your channel to my friends and fam. Thanks again bro.

[@animationsxplaned8835]

That’s very kind! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@afzalmohammad1992]

Genuinely nice explanation and earnest effort! Thank you for the video!!

[@alistairmills7608]

These are brilliant animations

[@Micscience]

Cameras are amazing. I have always wanted to understand how we can capture pictures onto a screen or a paper. I need to re watch but this was great also you have a great channel. Subscribed.

[@seemasrivastava8764]

loved the video !! it was so easy for me to understand. great animation. i wonder why there are so less views :(

[@ManojSaminda]

dude keep upload videos... this is a great channel

[@reapercreeper6097]

So well explained and the animation was really good too. I can see you put a lot of effort and knowledge to make this video. Thanks for this video.

Amazing Video. Helped me a lot on the research for my final exam

[@prasadpusalkar123]

great effort. keep up the good work

[@chebhou]

great work thank you

[@filmstuff6781]

Sensor is made up of three min layers: micro lens, colour filter and photo diode. Red photons for this pixel then hit the diode which then converts the photons into electricity and stores the charge of electron. The more photos that hit the diode, the greater the electric charge will be. Each pixel also has a amplifier which takes the built up charge and increases it. This amplification process is referred to as ISO. The camera processor will layer read the charge to create the strength of that pixel. Now that all the pixel have a charge to them, the camera begins to read the sensor row by row, sending the charges down the sensor and out to the cpu for processing.

[@mohammedd.7676]

Great work

[@Coastal_Nature]

Excellent stuff., Thanks alot.

[@lefisch6289]

Wow, amazing work!

[@animationsxplaned8835]

Thank you!

[@arielabonizio3618]

Wow amazing!

[@replicant44]

very cool video u deserve a lot more subs

[@sudipbosu8787]

Geeeeee, this is great!

[@silentlatif]

Very well explained. Actually, I was watching daguerreotype photos because I am from the time of B/W film emulsions to Transparencies to Digital Photography. I suggest that you may further treat topics such as: 1). The relationship of f-stop numbers with the speed & effectiveness of the lens; alongside explaining why lower f-stop means better/expensive lenses. 2). You could also de-abbreviate to explain the ISO both in Emulsion & Digital Photography. Why it took so long to come to Digital Photography when Diode, Semi-Conductors & solid state had long forayed into the industry.

[@Presshlen]

Why you don't have views.. The content is really amazing. Good job dude. I want to help you so much :( Hope somehow the algorithm picks you up

[@legoyoda6794]

Thanks! This will help a ton with my school project!

[@animationsxplaned8835]

Glad I could help!

[@samjebadurai8262]

Nicely done... Renderings are good...

[@monalisamallick9426]

this is an awesome video

Great work!! Thank you so much

[@animationsxplaned8835]

You are most welcome!

[@arafilmsandadvertising5712]

superb video....!! very well explained.---- am shocked----- Why such a low view rate.----Its absolutely amazing animation.

[@omkarrao12345]

great job

[@BRS64]

amazing!!

[@techsimplified7173]

Amazing video you have made. Really good. Do you use blender for this...

[@user-cu6ym3qx8l]

Great content❤

[@polka23dot70]

This video says that "lens is made of lenses." In fact, the round thing on the front end of every camera is called objective, not lens. Most objectives are made of lenses. They are called refractive objectives. Reflective objectives (a.k.a. mirror objectives) and catadioptric objectives are used almost exclusively by scientists and soldiers.

[@dilin1947]

Wow! I love this. Well done. What software do you use for your animations?

[@jr_jeet]

awesome bro

[@lizrichardson6914]

WOWOOWOWOW LOVE IT

[@maayanon1247]

this is gold.

[@Priya_dancelover]

Its awesome 👏

[@barrelcactusaddict4583]

I think I can finally understand how the Circle of Confusion forms, for which I am most grateful! Still, I can't understand this one aspect in the animation: why doesn't the focal point from the bottle opener form at a different distance once the aperture is changed to F/22, when the focal point from the bottle at F/22 forms earlier than it did at F/1.4 (the same can be said of the cork)? Does stopping down: A) decrease ONLY the diameter of the cone of light that forms the focus point (seems to be the case with the corkscrew), or B) does it decrease both diameter AND length (seems to be the case with the bottle and cork). Please, can you help me understand this anomaly? If it is depicted properly, why is there a change in distance of the focal points (of out-of-focus objects) when changing aperture, while no change with the in-focus object? Please, can you help me understand this? Thank you. UPDATE: I've learned that the answer to my question is that of A): the length of the cone of light to the point of convergence/focal point is not affected by change in aperture

[@archiehanlon3204]

absolutely 🐐'd vid!

[@animationsxplaned8835]

Haha! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@HinodeYoutube]

It was such a great video! There's just one thing that I'm intrigued about is that why wasn't the image for the wine bottle flipped when the aperture was low? Since it has already converge before reaching the sensor The video was still great tho! 🎉

[@arafatrahmanshihab5268]

Impressive work👏

[@animationsxplaned8835]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@its_vickysharma]

Can you make the same video on iPhone main camera, Including how it works ? What are the camera components and its importance ?

[@artwithvikky5396]

Well explained 👍👍

[@arifkizilay]

thank you, more about the science of photography, please.

[@dpi3]

brilliant!

[@yazairfan3097]

Nicely explained. Which software used for this...?

[@faramarzasarepour1746]

Amazing

[@shahanazparvin2798]

Very nice

[@messapatingy]

There should be an Oscar for Best Technical Description

[@nikeshdhapare91]

You deserve millions of subs

[@animationsxplaned8835]

One day! 🤞🏼

[@ninjacheroingaming6256]

my knowledge has been increased.

[@a11tcool]

helped me alot

[@Butterfly-gd6vc]

It is an amazing video .😯😯

[@prajwalchauhan6440]

amazing video with great animations.. didn't lose my interest for even a sec..

[@paulsaalfeld9844]

Awesome

[@sreeni312]

Thank u so much

[@natemajor6560]

3:01 I feel the lens refracts the same amount so the focal point doesn't change behind the lens here with the object moving closer or farther away. I at least feel there is more going on here than animated and talked about and so if anyone can explain I'd would appreciate. It would make sense if it was something to do with the focal point in front of the lens but I can't really think of what idk

[@prabashravinath1651]

Thank you

[@TheAdventuresofTimmyLeger1]

That’s a LOT OF PHOTOS IN A YEAR

[@Turt-le-go]

The bast explanation I can find.

[@autf1_6]

Harikasın dostum

[@freespeech515]

I wanted to know how the color created. With one photo diode store signal of r g b filter?

[@patrickdunkel9398]

Can you explain something in the graphic at the end of the video? It showed every other pixel being green, and then blue pixels were every other pixel on every other row, with red pixels being every other pixel on every other row. This would be a 50% green, 25% blue, 25% red ratio. Is this what camera’s actually have? Why?

[@lefotografion]

Well I'm not sure but most screens today have the same structure, more green then everything else. Probably because we like seeing green, idk

[@Scyth3934]

It has to do with the way the human eye works.
