We talk about connectivity, at a digital camera, when we want to refer at the way that other devices can be connected, so that transfer, viewing or printing of images can take place. We also need connectivity to use the camera for remote capture. Image transfer To be able to transfer images to your computer, [...]

September 11th, 2010 Andrei A color filter array (CFA), or color filter mosaic (CFM), is a mosaic of tiny color filters placed over the pixel sensors of an image sensor to capture color information. Color filters are needed because the typical photosensors detect light intensity with little or no wavelength specificity, and therefore cannot separate color information. The color [...]
Burst (Continuous)
September 7th, 2010 Andrei This mode represents the digital camera’s ability to take several shots immediately one after another, similar to a film SLR camera with a motorwind. The number of frames per second and total number of frames differs greatly between camera types and models. The fps is a function of the shutter release and image processing systems [...]
Buffer
September 3rd, 2010 Andrei After the sensor in the camera is exposed, the image data will be processed and then written to the storage card. The buffer inside a digital camera consists of RAM memory which holds the image information before it is written out to storage card. This process makes the time between shots shorter and allows burst [...]
Batteries
August 30th, 2010 Andrei Disposable AAs Given the high power consumption of digital cameras, it is economically and environmentally unjustified to use disposable batteries other than in emergency situations when your rechargeables are depleted. Disposable Lithium AAs are more expensive than Alkalines, but having about three times the power packed in half the weight, they are ideal to carry [...]
Los Angeles Insurance
June 29th, 2010 Andrei This days I found something interesting for all of us, a very useful insurance website. The Los Angeles Insurance website is unique in that it doesn’t simply stick to one kind of insurance carrier, but it brings you the best deals from many online insurance carriers. This way, you have offers from multiple carriers all [...]
Autofocus
February 15th, 2010 Andrei This feature can be found in all digital cameras. In autofocus (AF) mode the camera will automatically focus on the subject in the focus area in the center of the LCD or viewfinder. Many digital cameras allows the user to also select other autofocus regions that will be indicated on the LCD/viewfinder. In “single AF” [...]
AF Servo
February 13th, 2010 Andrei This system allows the camera to maintain focus on subjects that are moving. It is a very useful feature for sports or wildlife photography and it is normally found on digital DSLRs. Autofocus Servo is normally triggered by switching focus to “AI Servo” on Canon, or “Continuous” on Nikon, followed by half pressing the shutter [...]
AF Assist Lamp
January 24th, 2010 Andrei This is a lamp which is used to illuminate the subject you are focusing on when shooting in low light conditions. The lamp is usually located beside or above the lens barrel. These lamps are not very powerful and they usually only work over a short range, up to about 4 meters. The light that [...]
AD Converter
January 17th, 2010 Andrei Sensors from your digital camera consists of millions of pixels with photodiodes which convert the energy from the light (actually from the incoming phototns) into an electrical charge. That electrical charge is then converted to a voltage which is amplified to a higher level so that it can be further processed by the ADC (Analog [...]
