Pulling It Together
Suppliers bring printed circuit boards and LCD panels, in the form of modules, that will be assembled into cameras together with lens barrels, image sensors, digital sensor processing and memory chips.
Classy Casings
Cameras must be easy to operate and very comfortable to hold in one hand. Brushed steel cases make cameras look solid, while smooth, rounded contours help users have a better grip. Many compact cameras don’t have a traditional optical viewfinder, and instead feature big LCD panels.
Loading Software
Lens quality, pixel capacity and sensors are critical to generate high-resolution images. However, software plays a big role in improving picture quality and creating a user-friendly interface. Quality software is needed to allow consumers to smoothly transfer pictures to a computer or upload directly to a Web site by using wireless broadband networks. Software is loaded into a digital camera in a dark room.
Shutter Test
A newly developed camera undergoes shutter tests repeated hundreds of thousands of times to make sure the end product is quality stuff.
Primary Colors
These days, clever picture-taking devices are small enough to slip into a purse or jacket pocket, but have the power to offer resolution of at least six megapixels and 3X digital zoom. Each camera undergoes resolution and color tests to make sure the zoom lens is properly focused and color balancing is accurately tuned.
