  1. Camera types

  2. Megapixel • Equal to one million pixels (or 1 MP). • Higher the MP = higher resolution = nicer looking picture

  3. Basic Digital Camera (point-and-shoot) • A very simple camera that has very few, if any, manual photographic controls. • Built in flash • Automatic shooting modes (ex. Landscape, portrait) • Either fixed focal length lens or a modest zoom lens • 5 MP or lower

  4. Mid-Range Camera • Higher resolution (7MP or 8MP) • Built-in zoom lens of @ least 3x • More manual controls

  5. High-End Digital Camera • Designed for the more advanced snapper • Captures images faster • Better zoom ratio • High resolution (8MP or higher)

  6. SLR and D-SLRSingle Lens Reflex Hinged mirror that reflects the projected image from the lens into a prism or ground glass. The mirror moves aside during the exposure so the image light can expose the film or sensor. • Look through the lens to take the picture • Inter-changeable lenses and accessories

  7. Medium Format • Maximum flexibility • Interchangeable lenses and film • Larger negative = higher resolution - richer colors - heaver, larger – needs a tri-pod

  8. Large Format Camera • Can only be used on a tripod • Negatives/transparencies in a variety of sizes • - 4” x 5”to 11” x 14” • Highest quality images • Ability to make the largest prints • Still life, product, architectural and landscape photography

  9. Pinhole Camera • Does not use a lens • - replaced by a thin sheet of metal with a tiny hole in it that projects an image • Universal depth of field = everything is in focus • Image not as sharp

  10. Memory card • Small computer chip called “flash memory” • Retains all the data that makes up the photo

  11. Tripod • A 3 legged metal stand for holding a camera that prevents camera movement during exposures.
