 How is Video Captured? Video capture on a mirrorless camera involves a combination of advanced sensor technology, electronic processing, and real-time adjustments. Unlike traditional DSLR cameras, which use a mirror mechanism for capturing images, mirrorless cameras rely on electronic systems for both stills and video. Here's how video is captured on a mirrorless camera: 1. Sensor and Electronic Shutter : Image Sensor : The mirrorless camera's sensor (CMOS or similar) is constantly exposed to light, capturing the scene in real-time. For video, the sensor reads and processes data continuously, recording multiple frames per second (fps). Electronic Shutter : Instead of a mechanical shutter, the camera uses an electronic shutter for video capture, which rapidly reads data from the sensor in sequence. 2. Lens and Autofocus : Lens Aperture : The lens controls the amount of light entering through the adjustable aperture. Autofocus (AF) : Mirrorless cameras use advanced autofocus sy...

 Why Photography is a Cultural Phenomenon  Photography is a cultural phenomenon because it profoundly influences how people perceive, document, and share their experiences, shaping collective memory and cultural identity. Here are some key reasons why photography has achieved this status: 1. Democratization of Art and Storytelling Accessibility : Advances in technology, such as smartphones, have made photography widely accessible, allowing anyone to capture and share images. This democratization has transformed photography from an exclusive art form to a universal tool for expression. Personal Narratives : People use photography to tell their stories, representing their cultural backgrounds, daily lives, and personal milestones. These images contribute to a global mosaic of perspectives. 2. Documentation of History and Culture Visual History : Photography has been instrumental in documenting historical events, from wars to social movements, preserving moments that shape co...
