DSLR

Also known as digital SLR, digital single-lens reflex. Category: Lighting and optics

A DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) camera uses a mirror to send the image from the lens to an optical viewfinder; the mirror flips up during exposure. DSLRs have large sensors and interchangeable lenses and were the studio standard before mirrorless cameras.

How PhotoRobot uses it

PhotoRobot supports a range of Canon DSLRs, but recommends mirrorless Canon cameras for the most seamless integration. PhotoRobot control units can pre-raise an SLR's mirror with one signal and expose with a second.

  • Mirrorless camera: A camera with interchangeable lenses but no mirror; the sensor feeds an electronic viewfinder.
  • Canon EDSDK: Canon's software development kit for controlling EOS cameras from a computer over USB.
  • Shutter release cable: A cable that fires the camera from an external device, such as a robot's control unit.
