More Basics About The Digital Camera by Owen Jones
If you are new to photography, the equipment may appear very confusing, especially the camera. It was hard enough working out the terminology before the digital revolution, but now it is almost impossible. Digital Cameras are dedicated microcomputers and just as hard for the inexperienced to understand. Here are some frequent terms.
The aperture is the size of the lens and the bigger the aperture of the lens, the more light that is admitted and the more light that is admitted, the better the quality of the picture and the less likely it is that you will have to use a flash, which brings its own issues with it. So, look for a camera with a large aperture.
The shutter speed is vital for taking photos in different qualities of light and for employing special effects. Shutter speed in combination with aperture size gives more control over the final photo. For example, a wide aperture will permit enough light in a very short time, so that the shutter is able to open and close very rapidly, which will permit you to capture a part of a second like water droplets splashing.
Therefore, if the aperture is big enough, you can have a wider assortment of shutter speeds which will allow you to use special effects when taking your photos. While the shutter speed is chosen automatically on digital cameras, on some it may be manually chosen if so required. The shutter speed is connected to the camera’s ability to take motion pictures.
Memory is the camera’s counterpart of a computer’s RAM. It is the temporary storage space for your photos and the amount you require is closely connected to the resolution of the photos and how many you would like to take without resort to memory cards.
Most digital cameras have at least one slot for a memory card. Memory cards can increase your camera’s memory capacity by five, six or even ten times.
There are quite a number of different types of memory card and not all cameras can take all kinds. Therefore, when you purchase your digital camera, check what sort of memory card it takes and then check that that sort or card suits you. Once you have your camera, you are restricted to which cards you can use.
Memory cards will hold your photos until you empty them, so if you want to take plenty of photos, say, when on vacation, take a couple of cards with you and process them when you get home. Once you have downloaded the images onto your computer, you can wipe the cards clean and use them again.
SLR and DSLR refer to single-reflex lens and digital single-reflex lens. This is a very crucial idea for a photographer, because it means that you will have a image of exactly what you see in your camera’s view-finder. The situation with most Cheap Cameras is that the camera ‘looks out’ of the lens, but the photographer looks through a view-finder.
These two lenses come from slightly different angles. This is not much of a problem for medium to long distance photography, but may cause optical errors in close ups. Therefore, professional and serious amateur photographers will always buy an SLR or DSLR for their serious work.
However, the technology in these cameras makes them more expensive, heavier and more bulky than most amateur snappers would want to put up with.
