Camera types
2
Megapixel Equal to one million pixels (or 1 MP). Higher the MP = higher resolution = nicer looking picture
3
Basic Digital Camera (point-and-shoot) A very simple camera that has very few, if any, manual photographic controls. Built in flash Automatic shooting modes (ex. Landscape, portrait) Either fixed focal length lens or a modest zoom lens 5 MP or lower
4
Mid-Range Camera Higher resolution (7MP or 8MP) Built-in zoom lens of @ least 3x More manual controls
5
High-End Digital Camera Designed for the more advanced snapper Captures images faster Better zoom ratio High resolution (8MP or higher)
6
SLR and D-SLR Single Lens Reflex Hinged mirror that reflects the projected image from the lens into a prism or ground glass. The mirror moves aside during the exposure so the image light can expose the film or sensor. Look through the lens to take the picture Inter-changeable lenses and accessories
7
Medium Format Maximum flexibility Interchangeable lenses and film Larger negative = higher resolution - richer colors - heaver, larger – needs a tri-pod
8
Large Format Camera Can only be used on a tripod Negatives/transparenc ies in a variety of sizes - 4” x 5” to 11” x 14” Highest quality images Ability to make the largest prints Still life, product, architectural and landscape photography
9
Pinhole Camera Does not use a lens - replaced by a thin sheet of metal with a tiny hole in it that projects an image Universal depth of field = everything is in focus Image not as sharp
10
Memory card Small computer chip called “flash memory” Retains all the data that makes up the photo
11
Tripod A 3 legged metal stand for holding a camera that prevents camera movement during exposures.
