DigitaOS
DigitaOS is a operating system for digital cameras made by Flashpoint Technology.[2][3][4] The first device to use it is the Kodak DC220, released on 20 May 1998.[5][6][7] It was known for being able to run third party software,[8] which was not common until ones running Android came out in the early 2010s.[9][10]

Programs can be written in a scripting language named Digita Script, which is JIT compiled,[11][12] or compiled, written in C[13] using an official SDK.[14] Abstraction is used so programs can run on most cameras, despite any camera model differences.[15] DigitaOS runs the GUI and basic camera functionality.[15]
