The Eye: A Super Camera

At the center of the camera is an automatic aperture that contracts when shooting in bright environments to allow only necessary light to enter and expands in low light to allow maximum light entry. The automatic zoom is operated by a sophisticated system of electronic springs.

 

Upon the light's entry, seven million(!) color sensors automatically adjust for the most accurate color matching, creating an optimal image with precise colors. However, when there isn't enough light for a color picture, like when the camera is in a dark place, and these seven million color sensors can't function, one hundred and twenty-seven million(!)

 

black-and-white sensors, designed specifically for this purpose, capture the image. Due to the delicate and vital nature of the world's most sophisticated and expensive camera, for the first time in photography history, emphasis is placed on high-quality automatic cleaning of the camera lens, ensuring maximum clarity and transparency.

 

Two delicate membranes, constantly coated on their inner sides with a special gentle solution, automatically open and close repeatedly over the lens, cleaning it at unparalleled speed without interfering with the image capture. The camera designer chose to use two membranes on either side of the lens, extending from top and bottom to the center, rather than a single membrane covering the entire lens, to enable rapid deployment and swift retraction.

 

Besides this, a special lubrication system provides the camera lenses with constant moisture allowing them to move as required and consistently clears away any dust or dirt that enters their vicinity. Thanks to the membrane and lubrication systems, there's no concern with shooting in any condition, including sandstorms.

 

The membranes will automatically close as needed to allow for hermetic sealing, washing away and expelling any dirt that gets inside. If numerous dust particles enter, the lubrication system's sensors detect it and without human touch, flood the area with increased cleaning and lubrication materials until the original level of cleanliness is achieved. Moreover, one of the most impressive achievements developed in the super-camera is the 3D photography. This remarkable feature arises from the combination of two shooting and recording systems (each consisting of all the aforementioned elements) where a special computer connected to them receives both images from the two cameras together in a fraction of a second.

 

A special software processes and merges them into a single 3D picture at lightning speed. Notably, the diameter of each such super-camera is just two and a half centimeters.

 

 Both are constantly positioned atop the most sophisticated creation in the world, known as: eyes. Is it any surprise that even before these numerical data were discovered, Charles Darwin, considered the father of the theory of evolution, wrote that due to the stunning perfection in the design of the eye and the mechanism of vision, he feared that one day someone might entirely refute the theory of evolution based on the eye. And he expressed it this way: 'To this day, the eye gives me a cold shiver.'
