A digital single-lens reflex camera (also called a digital SLR or DSLR) is a digital camera that combines the optics and the mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a digital imaging sensor, as opposed to photographic film.

The reflex design scheme is the primary difference between a DSLR and other digital cameras.

In the reflex design, light travels through the lens, then to a mirror that alternates to send the image to either the viewfinder or the image sensor.

The alternative would be to have a viewfinder with its own lens, hence the term "single lens" for this design.

By using only one lens, the viewfinder of a DSLR presents an image that will not perceptibly differ from what is captured by the camera's sensor.

Cinematography is the science or art of motion-picture photography by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as film stock.

Digital cinematography is the process of capturing (recording) film as digital video images rather than through film stock.

Digital capture may occur on video tape, hard disks, flash memory, or other media which can record digital data through the use of a digital movie video camera or other digital video camera.

As digital technology has improved in recent years, this practice has become dominant.

Since the mid 2010s most of the movies across the world are captured as well as distributed digitally despite the fact that this has led to a noticeable reduction in approximate resolution, and thus picture quality.

An image sensor or imaging sensor is a sensor that detects and conveys the information that constitutes an image.

It does so by converting the variable attenuation of light waves (as they pass through or reflect off objects) into signals, small bursts of current that convey the information.

The waves can be light or other electromagnetic radiation.

Image sensors are used in electronic imaging devices of both analog and digital types, which include digital cameras, camera modules, medical imaging equipment, night vision equipment such as thermal imaging devices, radar, sonar, and others.

As technology changes, digital imaging tends to replace analog imaging.

Video is an electronic medium for the recording, copying, playback, broadcasting, and display of moving visual media.
