Digital cameras are quite similar to traditional cameras in their operation. They both have a lens to focus the image, a shutter to allow light inside the camera, and an aperture to control the amount of light which enters the camera.
Digital technology is finding a place in almost everyone’s lives. From digital music to digital movies we are constantly exposed to images and sound that have passed from the traditional analog domain into the new digital formats. Digital photography is one of those formats and is becoming more popular every year.
Are you ready to take the plunge into the world of digital photography? This series of articles will help you choose the best camera for your needs.
The simplest digital cameras are point-and-shoot cameras — simply aim them and push the button. They are very easy to use and are suitable for people who simply want to take family or vacation snapshots.
Traditional cameras use viewfinders which allow you to set up your shot and, in the case of Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras, focus your subject.
There are two major components of digital cameras that play a big part in image quality – the image sensor and the lens. Get the best you can afford — good quality lenses are essential for getting the most out of digital photography.
Digital photographs are the result of light hitting the image sensor. Too much light and the photograph will be washed out. Too little light and the photograph will be too dark.
A camera shutter is a mechanical device which permits light to enter the camera body for a specified period of time. The longer the shutter is open the more light enters the camera.
Traditional photography uses film as a storage medium. When one film is used up, simply take it out and pop in a new one. The film is eventually developed and the stored images printed.
