Marc Levoy - Lectures on Digital Photography - Lecture 1 (21mar16).mp4

Marc Levoy introduces the fundamentals of digital photography, optics, and how digital camera sensors work in this Stanford university lecture.

This is one of 18 videos representing lectures on digital photography, from a version of my Stanford course CS 178 that was recorded at Google in Spring 2016. Links to all 18 videos, my slides (in PDF form), and the course applets and assignments are on the Schedule page of the course web site: sites.google.com/site/marclevoylectures For convenience, here is a playlist of all 18 lectures, in order: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7ddpXYvFXspUN0N-gObF1GXoCA-DA-7i Note that the quality of the audio is poor in this lecture (#1) due to an inferior microphone; subsequent lectures have better audio. Regarding captioning and translation, all of the lectures have auto-captioning enabled. This also enables auto-translation if you switch the captioning language. The quality of this captioning is uneven, and is probably poor in lecture #1 due to its inferior audio quality. People are welcome to help me by captioning these lectures - in English or whatever language they speak!

Given my day job at Google, I simply cannot afford the time. I am sorry!
