Choosing the Best Camera •Not a once in a lifetime purchase anymore. •Select one which can do the job you want Today and as per your future requirement •Some kinds of cameras do. some kinds of things better or more easily e.g., Sports photography vs. Close-up portraits. •Price isn’t the best indicator.
TYPES OF CAMERAS • WEB CAMERAS AND MOBILE CAMERAS
MEGAPIXEL MYTH How much do you need? •Often, cameras are categorized by the no. of Megapixels they can capture . •As if that resolution figure is the only measure of the camera’s value. •This value can be quite misleading.
ZOOM: OPTICAL AND DIGITAL Optical vs. Digital Zoom •An optical zoom uses the optics (lens) of the digital camera to move you closer to your subject. •A digital zoom simply enlarges the existing image digitally. It is not really zoom, in the strictest definition of the term. •Enlarging the image digitally reduces picture quality, and should therefore usually be avoided . •Some manufacturers label their lenses with the "total zoom" by multiplying the optical with the digital. Ignore It. •When comparing digital cameras: Go for higher optical zoom. Digital zoom can always be achieved later in an image editing software.
PHOTOGRAPHY TECHNICALITY Anti-BlurAnti-ShakeImage StabilizationVibration Reduction •A technology that stabilizes the lens to effectively reduce blur due to camera shake
METERING How the camera measures the amount of light available to expose a picture •Centre-Weighted: Readings are taken at various part of the picture, with a special emphasis for the centre. •Spot: Readings are taken at a specific point. •Each camera manufacturer has its own variations (Evaluative Metering)
