Innovations include a novel 3-D Hungarian algorithm which is utilized for object tracking and a practical, hands-off mechanism for camera calibration.
His fixation on the inner workings of the watch was translated into a fascination with the inner mechanisms of cameras.
In fully automatic cameras, the exposure is corrected by the camera mechanism itself.
This loop is quickly fitted into the camera mechanism when loading.
The fact that I raised my arm can be established by scientific observation even by the impersonal mechanism of a camera.
Pentax is not the first to offer shake-reduction technology, but putting the mechanism in the camera body means that shake reduction works with any Pentax interchangeable lenses made in the last 30 years.
The adaptation of the camera mechanism to projection seems obvious in retrospect but was frustrated in the United States by Dickson's establishment of a frame rate well above that necessary for the perception of continuous motion.
Muybridge won a patent for the camera mechanism he invented in the making of "Animal Locomotion," a body of work consisting of 781 plates (a selection will be on display at SFMOMA).
A system of cams in the focus mechanism of the camera keeps the viewfinder image free of parallax (viewpoint difference) by adjustment from infinity to the near-point of the lens with a separate cam for each focal length.
The Lumia 920 doesn't have the 41MP sensor, but does have what Nokia calls "floating lens technology": a gyroscope detects shaking such as uneven hand motion and the whole camera mechanism moves to compensate, so the shutter can be open for longer in low light.
