Digital Camera Mini-Lab
Important Camera Features
The zoom lens: The zoom lens does much more than just bring the subject closer. It can also compress the photo, bringing the subject and background closer together.
-NOTE: This effect does not work with digital zoom.
Macro Lens: This feature, found on most cameras, allows the photographer to take extremely close-up shots. Some cameras have a macro that works fractions of an inch, others consider "macro" to be at least 3′ from the subject.
Self Timer: While the actual process of setting the timer depends on the camera, most cameras have a self timer that allows you to take photos on a delayed basis. This feature enables you to be in the family photos.
Holding It Still: If you are on location with your camera, always carry a tripod or monopod. A tripod will help you hold the camera very still for long exposures and a monopod will help you hold the camera more steady in unpredictable shooting situations.
Quality/Resolution: The greater the number of pictures, the worse the resolution. The lesser pictures, the higher resolution.
Exposure: Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO/ASA.
Aperture: adjustment of the diameter of the lens opening.
Shutter speed: adjustment of how long your camera’s shutter or "eye" stays open to let light in.
ISO/ASA: film measurement that tells you how sensitive your film or "eye" is to light. The higher the number, the more sensitive. ALSO – The higher the number, the higher the grain.
