No matter what batteries you use, your digital camera knows how to suck the life out of them. But, there are some ways you can help preserve or even extend the power with which your camera needs to function.

Rechargeable batteries are a great way to conserve money and power. Ni-MH and Lithium-ion batteries - both used amongst Olympus digital cameras (type varies by model) - are rechargeable and can be recharged hundreds of times. Read the rest of this entry »

There are two types of digital camera, SLR and Compact Camera, this is the differences…

Compact Camera: The simple camera we have all used, small and portable. It has a lens through which the image is projected onto the film, and a second simple eyepiece lens through which the user composes the image, seeing APPROXIMATELY the image that will form on the lens.

SLR=Single Lens Reflex: these cameras have a single lens (that is interchangeable) and, by means of a mirror behind the lens, and a prism above the mirror and in front of the eyepiece, project the image directly from the lens to the eye of the user to compose their image as they wish.

The SLR Camera has many features, such as: most use 35mm film: cheap, versatile, widely available, easily processed, and enough quality for A3 prints; as much quality as most need. Read the rest of this entry »

ECU - Extreme Closeup
The extreme close up is used to reveal very small details in the scene. It might be used to reveal horror in a subject (extreme close up of the subject’s mouth as she/he screams). It might also be used in a mystery to show some detail that the detective picks up on or to show some small clue.

CU - Close Up
The close up shot is used to reveal detail. If you are shooting just the head and shoulders of a subject this is a close up.

Head and Shoulders
The head and shoulders shot is used in news broadcasts. If you think about the television news you will realize that this shot reveals enough detail to see the subject’s lips move and the expression on her/his face. Read the rest of this entry »

Nowadays, it’s not enough that there are many different types of memory options for your camera such as CompactFlash, SmartMedia, and Memory Sticks. Now, memory comes in different speeds. Some memory may claim to be 4x, 8x, 16x, or more.

It seems that faster memory cards may result in increased digital camera performance because photos should be written to and read/from memory quicker. However, realize that your digital camera must support the faster read/write mode of your memory card in order to take advantage of the speed increase. If your camera only supports 8x, then spending the extra money to get a 16x card may be worthless, unless you plan on soon purchasing a camera that supports the extra speed.
