Storage Media

• SD card

• Memory stick

• Compact flash card

• Internal memory

Page 7: Unit 2: Photography Digital Communications II. Digital SLR and Point and Shoot Cameras

Memory Cards vs. Internal Memory

• SD cards, memory sticks, and Compact Flash cards - removable storage devices.

• Internal memory – built in storageInternal memory space is limited. To remove the

images from the internal storage a cable is required.

Memory cards can be filled, removed and replaced with another memory card. Card readers enable you to move the pictures from the memory card to the computer.

• Zoom that physically increases the length of the lens, essentially creating a magnifying glass; produces a higher quality lens.

Page 12: Unit 2: Photography Digital Communications II. Digital SLR and Point and Shoot Cameras

Digital Zoom

• Zoom takes a portion of the image and enlarges it electronically; the image quality is reduced since digital zoom enlarges the same set of pixels without adding detail

Page 28: Unit 2: Photography Digital Communications II. Digital SLR and Point and Shoot Cameras

Extreme close-up

• A framing technique that cuts off top of head and chin of subject

Page 29: Unit 2: Photography Digital Communications II. Digital SLR and Point and Shoot Cameras

Camera Resolution

• The quality or sharpness of an image, usually measured in pixels per inch; the more pixels, the higher the resolution

Page 30: Unit 2: Photography Digital Communications II. Digital SLR and Point and Shoot Cameras

Megapixels

• One million pixels; describes the size of the images captured by a camera

Page 31: Unit 2: Photography Digital Communications II. Digital SLR and Point and Shoot Cameras
