Figure  4-30.–Comparing  the  angle  of  view  of  a  35mm  camera and  the  Kodak  DCS  Digital  camera. the chrominance information. This camera provides a 720,000  pixel  image. The images can be stored on the floppy disk either as a FRAME or a FIELD. When frame is selected, each picture is recorded on two tracks and up to 25 images can be recorded on each disk. When field is selected, each picture is recorded on only one track, allowing up to 50 images to be recorded. When you record your pictures in the field mode, images are less detailed as compared to images recorded on two tracks (frame). Overtaking the still-video camera is the digital camera. The Eastman Kodak Company is leading the way in digital-imaging technology by introducing the Digital  Camera  System  (DCS).  Resolution  with  the Kodak DCS 200 Digital camera is 1.54 million pixels, PHAN(AC) April Hatton 302.271 Figure  4-31.–Image  captured  and  transmitted  using  the Kodak DCS Digital camera. providing four times the resolution of a still-video camera. Kodak’s fully digital systems use a Nikon body and optics to capture the image. The image is then transferred to a highly sensitive CCD that converts the image directly into digital information. The CCD in the Kodak DCS camera system only uses a small portion of the angle of view compared to conventional cameras; for example, a 28mm lens on the Kodak DCS Digital Camera is equivalent to an 80mm lens on a 35mm camera  (fig.  4-30). The exposure index (EI) of the DCS camera equates to 50 to 400 IS0 for color images and 100 to 800 IS0 for black-and-white images. The digital images stored on the DCS camera can easily be downloaded to a computer, so it can be manipulated and printed or can be transmitted around the world without loss in quality. The  image  in  figure  4-31  was  transmitted  directly  from the USS Ranger CV-61 via satellite to the Navy News Photo  Division  in  the  Pentagon. 4-31
