SLR Cameras

• Detachable lens for different distances• Broader range of manual settings– Large ISO settings– Aperture

• Manual zoom• Expensive• Bulky

Page 4: Unit 2: Photography

Point and Shoot Cameras

• Easy to use – Automatic– Limited manual settings

• Compact• Lightweight• Non-expensive

Components of a Digital Camera

• Storage media• Battery• Optical zoom• Digital zoom• Flash• Preview mode• Mode dial• LCD screens

Page 6: Unit 2: Photography

Storage Media

• SD card

• Memory stick

• Compact flash card

• Internal memory

Page 7: Unit 2: Photography

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.

Page 8: Unit 2: Photography

Transferring Digital Images

• USB cables – used to transfer images from a camera to a computer

• Bluetooth – wireless transfer of images• Card readers – input device that reads

memory cards

Page 9: Unit 2: Photography

Battery

• SLR cameras require a battery that will need to be recharged after hours of use

• A point and shoot camera requires lithium batteries, typically AA. Rechargeable batteries and a battery charger can be purchased.

Optical Zoom

• 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 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 13: Unit 2: Photography

Flash

• A device used in photography producing a flash of artificial light

Page 14: Unit 2: Photography

Preview Mode

• Used to review images taken

Page 15: Unit 2: Photography

Mode Dial

• Used to change camera functions

Page 16: Unit 2: Photography

LCD Screens

• Allows user to see what the image will look like

Page 17: Unit 2: Photography

Composite Techniques

• Rule of thirds• Point of view• Frame movement

Page 18: Unit 2: Photography

Rule of Thirds

• Arrangements of elements in a picture• Image is broken down into 9 equal parts• Points of interest should occur at 1/3 or 2/3• Creates strong focal points

Page 19: Unit 2: Photography

Point of View

• Position, direction, and height of a camera• Change the way your subject is perceived by

changing the camera position• Make actor look taller• Change the mood of a photo

Point of View, cont.

Page 21: Unit 2: Photography

Frame Movement

• A frame is an image frozen in the process of movement and represents the object's position at a specific point in time.

Page 22: Unit 2: Photography

Framing

• Where the foreground frames what is being photographed in the background

Page 23: Unit 2: Photography

Into the Frame

• The subject typically should be moving toward or facing the center of the photo

Page 24: Unit 2: Photography

Basic Framing Shots

• Long shot• Mid shot• Close-up• Extreme close-up

Page 25: Unit 2: Photography

Long Shot

• A framing technique used to capture the environment and full body of subject

Page 26: Unit 2: Photography

Mid Shot

• A framing technique that captures the subject from the waist up

Page 27: Unit 2: Photography

Close-up

• Framing technique that captures the head and shoulders of the subject

Page 28: Unit 2: Photography

Extreme close-up

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

Page 29: Unit 2: Photography

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

Megapixels

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

Page 31: Unit 2: Photography

File Management

• Construct a file management system for photos

• Organization• Folders– Event – Date

• Name or date pictures
