21 Sep 08 The Switch From Film to Digital Camera: Making the Adjustment

Author: Christine Peppler

From all of the books, advertisements, and products in stores it would appear that no one continues to use a camera. This isn’t true of course. Although a can offer much greater control during the editing process and perhaps even a cost savings over the long run, a traditional camera still has advantages for some consumers. One of those being that if their camera is a good one and meets their needs, there is no reason to change.

However, for those who do decide to switch to a there will be significant differences to which they must adjust. Certainly the technology behind a makes them different; how are captured and stored, the themselves, pixels, , and so forth. But there are a handful of basic changes to which even those who on a very limited and casual basis will need to adapt.

Response Time

With a more affordable, point-and-shoot type there can be a significant delay between pressing the button and the camera actually taking the . These cameras are somewhat like a small computer. During the lag time it is focusing but this can cause some great shots to be missed.

Of course, spending the time to shop for a camera with less lag time is one solution; and certainly many of the more expense models don’t suffer this issue. However, there is a simple adjustment which can produce a significant reduction in the lag time. The can set up the shot, aim the camera at the subject, and press the button down half way and hold it. At this point, the will begin the process of focusing. Then, a couple of seconds or more later, when the and subject are ready, the button is depressed entirely and the is taken almost immediately. Obviously, this requires the to anticipate and prepare before taking a shot.

Life

Because much of what a does consumes energy from the , they are known to drain very quickly. One of the particularly power greedy functions unique to a is that of powering an . Again there are a number of things users can do to assure they don’t run out of power and to reduce the rate at which the camera uses the energy.

To avoid a trickling discharge, should be removed from the camera when the device won’t be used for more that a week or two and, likewise, a should be powered off if the user doesn’t anticipate taking a shot for another 30 minutes or so. Using the “sleep mode” is good also, to assure that even if the user forgets, the camera gets powered off.

Using the instead of the to frame shots is wise when you wish to save power. Users can also avoid using whenever their subject is more than 12 feet or so away, since the will be ineffective anyway and drain power needlessly. Those traveling with a also need to be sure to carry a backup to avoid problems.

A final recommendation is to use other power sources when possible. Use AC power when performing various functions such as downloading or use a card reader to download from the cards and remove the camera from the process entirely. can be edited on the computer rather than on the camera to save additional power.

The Viewing System

A often has an optical which is separate from the lens through which the camera takes the . Thus, when a subject is somewhat near, what a sees, and what the camera sees are two different things. Using the LCD to frame a shot is also difficult because in order to see the screen, the camera is held away from the body, making it difficult to hold the camera steady for a good shot. The fix for this is to use the “correction marks” visible through the which approximate the border of the image that the camera is seeing versus using the . This also allows the user to keep the camera closer to the body in a steady fashion.

Another option is to buy a camera with an electronic which takes the image captured by the lens, and electronically transfers it to a display screen allowing the user to accurately frame the . Use of an electronic however will increase power consumption.

The third option is to buy a with a TTL mechanism. With TTL, the views a scene through the same lens that records the image and is thus able to frame a scene accurately. This option however is generally available only on more expensive .

Despite these differences, do offer some tremendous advantages; from being able to view instantly, edit them, print them at home, share them easily on the internet, and so forth which make them worth the small effort to adjust to their unique characteristics.

21 Sep 08 Choosing Your First Digital Camera

Author: Kirsten Whittaker

are no longer a luxury these days, with high and sophisticated features coming within a very appealing price range. And thanks to many comprehensive reviews, it’s easy to pick the most sought after features and qualities and still stay within a budget.

Most people turn to digital because they like the ease of printing and sharing the on the web. Business owners choose the for their product catalogues or brochures, students employ for their projects and with in most recent cell phones, even a child can take a snap and publish it instantly on the web. And thanks to the newest lens and zooming qualities, you don’t have to be a seasoned pro to shoot close-to-professional with modern .

You can hardly find a today with lower than 2 - two million color dots per . This is a decent quality for most uses, including printing the for the home or school use. The higher the rate, the bigger you can print without sacrificing the quality. However, if you are not a professional or a who deals with upscale all the time, you don’t really need a that produces more than 8- camera - and these rarely become available for less than $1000. Plus, if you seek to print large detailed , make sure you have a high-quality printer that can reproduces all the tiny details that make a difference.

When you pick a , you should also pay attention to the number. have two different kinds of . Digital enlarges all pixels digitally, while optical enlarges the image with the lens magnification. Since you can always enlarge the image later, on the computer using the Photoshop or other , you would be better to concentrate on higher optical rate. The average optical for midlevel is 2 to 4x.

There are a few other options to consider: whether a uses a rechargeable ( and consume a lot of energy); whether the has a standard (you may need to buy a few more cards in future), and if the menus are easy to understand. If you travel a lot, you may want a that is lightweight and compact.

Even if you decide to pick the least expensive to serve your basic needs, you will still enjoy all the benefits of digital : no rolls to buy, no wasted to dispose of and best of all, no waiting time to get them printed. New models of are constantly launched, and the older ones are becoming less expensive day by day. Know your priorities, check the most recent reviews, and there should be a to perfectly suit your needs.
