  1. For Tomorrow • Bring an old photo of your parents or grandparents so we can scan and retouch in Photoshop • Compare/Contrast Sheets due tomorrow

  2. Digital Camera Basics

  3. Different Types of Digital Cameras • Digicams (Compact Cameras) • Point and Shoot • Fixed Lens Camera • Digital SLR

  4. Digicams (Compact Cameras) • Features: -A camera on which you cannot • directly set the primary photographic controls • of aperture and shutter-speed. • -Point-and-shoot digital cameras are • generally small, falling into either the • ultra-compact or compact size. Pros and Cons: -very cheap -very small, easy to carry -doesn’t require any thought, just Point and shoot -poor image quality -no additional features -No ability to capture photos other than snapshots

  5. Fixed Lens Cameras (Also called Prosumer or Bridge-Cameras) • The terms Prosumer-Camera and Bridge-Cameraare used to describe advanced digital cameras with complete manual controls and high-quality fixed lenses. • Features: • lenses cannot be removed • Less expensive than SLR’s • Easy to carry • Can fit in a pocket or purse • Streamline the process of taking photos by giving you everything you need in one small package and by offering a variety of automatic features • Image quality is as good, sometimes better than some SLR’s

  6. Digital SLR • SLR (Single Lens Reflex)-It means a camera which has a single lens where incoming light is reflected into the viewfinder • Features: • all SLR cameras have an optical viewfinder (OVF). • DSLR cameras have interchangeable lenses and full-manual controls. Pros and Cons: -Big and bulky -expensive -can use a variety of lenses for various needs -advantage of a viewfinder that shows exactly what the camera sensor sees -Ease in changing aperture and shutter speed settings

  7. Digital Accessories • Memory Card • Tripod • Lenses (for SLR) • Remote Cable (for SLR)

  8. Lenses • Wide Angle (28-35mm) • Telephoto Zoom (100-400mm and beyond) • Standard Lenses (50-80mm) • Fixed focal length on compact cameras • You are given no choice in the focal length you either have to walk closer or further away from your subject • Fisheye Lenses

  9. Camera Settings • Program mode • Auto mode • Shutter speed priority (TV) • Aperture priority (AV) • Manual mode • Easy mode • Portrait, landscape, Night snapshot, kids & pets, Indoor, ISO 3200

  10. Using the LCD Stands for Liquid Crystal Display Disadvantages of using the LCD: Don’t use the LCD as a viewfinder because it eats up the batteries The likelihood of getting blurry shots increases, since holding the camera away from your face tends to make it less stable There is a few seconds delay in what you see and what the LCD sees Parallax Problem occurs- this is when you are taking a close-up (macro) shot of something. You see one thing but the lens sees another (so what you see in your viewfinder doesn’t match the final image exactly). This problem becomes worse the closer you get to the subject. Two advantages of using the LCD: You get to learn by immediately seeing the results You have the opportunity to reshoot to correct what wasn’t successful
