From online shopping to booking your flight, many things can be done by using your computer or mobile device. Science and technology have an immense impact on the day-to-day living of any individual. In photography, modernization has also taken place. If you are going to look back in the history of photography, you would be amazed at how innovations have thrived.
Countless developments have already been made to improve the camera's features. For instance, you can now use an action camera to record your extreme adventures which was more challenging to do using traditional cameras. Despite the camera innovations that most people are aware of, there is more to expect in the future when it comes to digital photography.
In the past, people had to remove the film of the camera to develop the pictures. As time passed by, having a digital camera allowed people to use a memory card where the taken photos were stored. Now, transferring files is even easier as it uses the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi features, something that it is found in many modern cameras.
However, this is not yet the best innovation that can happen to cameras. Through continuous studies and with the existence of artificial intelligence (AI), you can anticipate many more groundbreaking innovations in digital photography. Here's a list of presumptions from photography enthusiasts and experts:
1. Future digital photography will use more advanced artificial intelligence. Modern cameras today use AI to perform automatic features such as stabilization, tracking, automatic exposures, and autofocus systems. In the next few years, AI in digital cameras is expected to become more progressive. Photography enthusiasts may experience better and faster autofocusing, which is helpful in capturing moving objects. Definitely, AI could help photographers take the best shots.
2. The future camera may have excellent connectivity. As mentioned before, digital cameras use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity to transfer files. It will become a standard feature in the future, and more connectivity options will be added. It is also possible to achieve wireless charging since it is now happening to smartphones. With this innovation, you won’t have to use batteries.
3. Cameras may have unlimited battery power. Most of the digital cameras today utilize rechargeable batteries. However, these batteries have limited power and can only be used for a few hours. This is why many photographers bring extra ones, especially for long-day shoots. In the future, this dilemma can be solved through unlimited battery power. Some photography experts believe that it is possible by using solar energy. It will allow the camera to operate through solar power. However, there are still concerns about this futuristic idea since solar cells may add to the size of the camera, which may affect its portability.
4. Digital cameras may not require light anymore. Canon has developed a camera that can work in the dark. Although this feature cannot be seen in all cameras, there is a high possibility that this innovation will become a trend in the coming years. Many photographers find it challenging to take photos of significant night events. They usually have to adjust the ISO setting of their cameras, but this setting has its limitations. Other photographers bring extra lights to be able to capture clear and captivating photos. With the advancements in digital photography, expect cameras that may have superior light performance level.
5. Mirrorless cameras will become a trend. Some photography experts believe that mirrorless cameras will become a trend in the coming years since they are more lightweight, more compact, and has better features compared to other cameras. These features are vital for photographers who take pictures outside, including travel and landscape photographers.
6. Digital cameras will become more portable. Think about action cameras. Besides its excellent use, many people love its portability. You can bring them anywhere and attach them to other accessories including helmets and handlebars. In the future, digital cameras will become more compact. It could have smaller dimensions and even up to 0.5 inches in thickness. Wider screens will replace the camera buttons.
7. Digital cameras may use voice-command features. Continuous developments are performed to make it easier for photographers to capture quality photos. Cameras can have a voice-command feature where you do not have to push a button to take a photo or change the settings.
8. Photographs can be used in creating 3D models. Although several photography enthusiasts have made 3D models out of pictures, this innovation is expected to become popular in the next few years. With technological advancements, it would be possible to create 360-degree product images. The photographs can also be associated with virtual reality where you can see and “touch” the image.
9. Analog cameras may come back to life. With the existence of digital cameras, many people have thought that analog cameras are going to disappear. Although this idea may sound true, some photography experts believe that analog cameras will become a trend. It is not only because of vintage camera collectors, but some people still prefer analog cameras over digital ones.
Many technological advancements happen every day. Photography experts are always looking for ways on how technology can help photographers. As a photography enthusiast, it is essential to be aware of the present and future innovations, since these features can help you in capturing better photos. However, it is important to remember that it is the constant practise that can make you a great and skillful photographer. Within the next few years, the predictions about digital photography might happen. But in the meantime, try to use what's available in the present and take more time in perfecting your techniques.
