When the shutter is released, the mirror swings up and away allowing the exposure of the photographic medium and instantly returns after the exposure. No SLR camera before 1954 had this feature, although the mirror on some early SLR cameras was entirely operated by the force exerted on the shutter release and only returned when the finger ...
A roof pentamirror contains 3 mirrors. A pentamirror is an optical device used in the viewfinder systems of various single-lens reflex cameras instead of the pentaprism.It is used to reverse again the laterally reversed image coming from the reflex mirror.
The mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera achieves the same result by providing the photographer with a digitally captured image. The twin-lens reflex camera provides both a viewfinder image by reflecting the image onto ground glass and an image through another lens to the film. The image exposing the film is not reflected.
Late model Rollei Rolleiflex TLRs introduced the widely copied additional feature of a second-mirror "sports finder". When the hinged front hood knock-out is moved to the sports finder position a secondary mirror swings down over the view screen to reflect the image to a secondary magnifier on the back of the hood, just below the direct view ...
Two thirds of the light from the camera lens was let through the mirror, while the rest was reflected up to the viewfinder screen. [4] The Pellix pellicle mirror was an ultra-thin (0.02 mm) Mylar film with a vapour deposited semi reflecting layer. Since there was no mirror blackout, the user could see the image at the moment of exposure. [5]

With mirror lock-up the mirror (2) flips up towards (5) well before the shutter (3) opens. As a result, light no longer reaches the eyepiece (8). Mirror lock-up (often abbreviated to MLU) is a feature employed in many Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras. It allows the operator to reduce vibration-induced motion blur during exposure. It also allows ...
A pinhead mirror can be used to create a camera similar to a pinhole camera. Instead of passing through a tiny aperature , the light to form the image is reflected by a small disc -shaped mirror (with a diameter the same as that of a pinhole ; about 0.15 mm - 0.4 mm).
