Soe Camera

SNAP IS MOSTLY known for its sticky social network consisting of fleeting messages and legitimately impressive augmented reality filters. But every so often Snap, which calls itself a “camera company,” produces new hardware. Things get a little weird. This is one of those times.

During its annual Snap Partner Summit today, the company showed off a flying camera, the type of device otherwise known as a drone. Called Pixy, this flat, yellow plastic copter is designed to pair with the Snapchat app, lift off from the palm of its owner’s hand, quickly capture a photo or video, and zoom back down to the person’s palm, probably at Coachella. The captured media is then wirelessly shared to Memories in the Snapchat app, where Snap’s signature AR filters and video effects can be applied.

How do cameras focus?
To allow your image to be sharp, or to allow you to intentionally not focus, the camera and lens work together to change the distance of the lens from the sensor or film in order to control where the captured light converges. When the light converges precisely at the plane of the film or sensor, the image is in focus.

What are the parts and function of a camera?
The main parts of the camera that are involved in the process are the camera body, the camera shutter, the camera lens, the ​lens aperture, and the camera's image sensor. The camera's LCD screen is for previewing and then viewing the captured image. The camera body is a light proof box.
