Digital photography, a contemporary technological innovation, records pictures via an electronic photodetector. This is subsequently transformed into a digital document using an analog-to-digital converter, thus eliminating the requirement for chemical treatments typically involved in film photography. The digital photograph can be saved, viewed, modified, and shared electronically. Significant advancements in digital photography encompass the creation of the charge-coupled device (CCD) in 1969, the launch of the JPEG image standard in 1992, and the integration of digital cameras into mobile phones around the year 2000. The quality of a digital photograph is frequently influenced by elements such as pixel count and sensor dimensions. Digital photography has drastically transformed the photography sector, facilitating quicker workflow, superior image quality, and simpler partage d'images[1] through social media and other digital channels.

Définitions des termes
1. partage d'images. Le partage d'images est le terme utilisé pour décrire la distribution numérique de photos sur plusieurs plateformes en ligne. Cette pratique a vu le jour entre le milieu et la fin des années 1990, l'objectif premier étant de commander des tirages en ligne. Au fil du temps, diverses plateformes telles que Webshots, SmugMug, Yahoo ! Photos et Flickr sont apparues, mettant en œuvre divers modèles de revenus, notamment des options gratuites, basées sur l'abonnement et le partage des revenus. Le processus de partage d'images peut être réalisé par le biais de plusieurs méthodes, notamment le partage d'égal à égal, d'égal à serveur, d'égal à navigateur et via les réseaux sociaux. Récemment, le partage d'images sur mobile et via des applications a gagné en popularité, avec des plateformes comme Instagram, Snapchat et Nice au premier plan. Les innovations technologiques telles que l'IA et les logiciels de reconnaissance faciale ont révolutionné la manière dont les photos sont partagées et classées. Toutefois, ces avancées ont également suscité des débats et des critiques sur la protection de la vie privée, les employeurs et les défenseurs de la vie privée discutant de l'impact du partage d'images sur les réseaux sociaux.

Photographie numérique uses cameras containing arrays of électronique photodetectors interfaced to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to produce images focused by a lentille, as opposed to an exposure on photographic film. The digitized image is stored as a computer file ready for further digital processing, viewing, electronic publishingou digital printing. It is a form of digital imaging based on gathering visible light (or for scientific instruments, light in various ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum).

Until the advent of such technology, photographs were made by exposing light-sensitive photographic film and paper, which was processed in liquid chemical solutions to develop and stabilize the image. Digital photographs are typically created solely by computer-based photoelectric and mechanical techniques, without wet bath chemical processing.

In consumer markets, apart from enthusiast digital single-lens reflex cameras (DSLR), most digital cameras now come with an electronic viewfinder, which approximates the final photograph in en temps réel. This enables the user to review, adjust, or delete a captured photograph within seconds, making this a form of instant photography, in contrast to most photochemical cameras from the preceding era.

Moreover, the onboard computational resources can usually perform aperture adjustment and focus adjustment (via inbuilt servomotors) as well as set the exposure level automatically, so these technical burdens are removed from the photographer unless the photographer feels competent to intercede (and the camera offers traditional controls). Electronic by nature, most digital cameras are instant, mechanized, and automatic in some or all functions. Digital cameras may choose to emulate traditional manual controls (rings, dials, sprung leverset buttons) or it may instead provide a touchscreen interface for all functions; most téléphones portables fall into the latter category.

Digital photography spans a wide range of applications with a long history. Much of the technology originated in the space industry, where it pertains to highly customized, embedded systems combined with sophisticated remote telemetry. Any electronic image sensor can be digitized; this was achieved in 1951. The modern era in digital photography is dominated by the semiconductor industry, which evolved later. An early semiconductor milestone was the advent of the charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor, first demonstrated in April 1970; since then, the field has advanced rapidly, with concurrent advances in photolithographic fabrication.

The first consumer digital cameras were marketed in the late 1990s. Professionals gravitated to digital slowly, converting as their professional work required using digital files to fulfill demands for faster turnaround than conventional methods could allow. Starting around 2000, digital cameras were incorporated into cell phones; in the following years, cell phone cameras became widespread, particularly due to their connectivity to médias sociaux et courriel. Since 2010, the digital point-and-shoot and DSLR cameras have also seen competition from the mirrorless digital cameras, which typically provide better image quality than point-and-shoot or cell phone cameras but are smaller in size and shape than typical DSLRs. Many mirrorless cameras accept interchangeable lenses and have advanced features through an electronic viewfinder, which replaces the through-the-lens viewfinder of single-lens reflex cameras.
