1981 A photograph in “still video”
In September 1981, Sony launched the first camera where the recording onto a magnetic disc of a still analogue video image replaced the film. The same year, Sony introduced the famous 3.5-inch floppy disc.
Computer-assisted publication developed with the arrival of personal computers and the use of home video became generally accepted.
A new relationship between photography and video emerged, with equipment enabling the conversion of photographs to video for viewing on a television screen, and even the production slideshows on video cassettes.
