DESIGN AND ERGONOMIC ASPECTS OF PHOTOGRAPHIC CAMERA DEVELOPMENT

Fotoaparat je naprava za zajemanje svetlobe. Od njenega izuma, do danes se je na osnovi stalnega razvoja, nove tehnike in tehnologije precej spremenila. Zraven zagotavljanja glavne funkcije je potrebno, da razvojni inženir oblikuje fotoaparat po principih industrijskega oblikovanja in ergonomije. Z upoštevanjem teoretičnih in praktičnih priporočil ter na osnovi antropometričnih tabel je mogoče doseči obliko, ki bo uporabnikom vizualno všeč ter bo omogočala enostavno in preprosto uporabo z malo utrujanja in brez poškodb uporabnika. V kolikor so principi industrijskega oblikovaja in ergonomije ustrezno zajeti v razvojni fazi, se ustvari dodatna vrednost fotoaparata, ki izboljša konkurenčnost izdelka na tržišču.A camera is a device for capturing light. From its invention till today it is under continuous development and new techniques and technologies have changed it considerably. Besides providing the main function, it is necessary to use the principles of industrial design and ergonomics. With theoretical and practical recommendations and anthropometrics a design can be achieved, which will provoke visual likeness and will allow easy use with little fatigue and without injury to the user. If these principles are adequately covered in the development phase, additional value is created, which improves the competitiveness of the camera on the market
