The Working of a Digital Camera
![]() |
Ever given a thought on the working of digital camera? Even let your thought intrude into the operational features of digital camera? Why does it have the same settings as a manual even thought it doesn’t actually expose any true film?
Zoom
Let us begin with Zoom lenses. They, with their greater flexibility to frame and bring images close, are worth the extra expense. A 3x zoom is enough to give you reasonable range for typical shots, but wildlife shots would benefit from a 10x. Zoom in and out and see what this does in relation to the surroundings.
Resolution
Next in the line is resolution. It if said in a non-technical language means the fine details of the picture. The more megapixels the camera has, the better quality the pictures will have. Resolution is measured in megapixels (MP) or literally, “millions of pixels”. Three to four MP is adequate for an average photographer.
Megapixels
A 3 megapixels (MP) camera will output images that are anywhere from 1 to 2 MB in size while a 7 MP camera outputs images that are 4 to 5 MB in size. It would be better for a professional photographer to go for high pixel cameras as it may provide better results. The beginners can look at low or mid-end cameras. If intending to take pictures for online use such as to email pictures to friends or place on website then a camera of 2 or 3 megapixels is enough. But if plans to print large photos or need clearer pictures for business purpose, then opt for camera with more pixels.
Shutter
When the shutter is clicked all of these sensors are simultaneously exposed to “the picture” that you’re trying to click. Each sensor picks up a certain level of brightness in the color that it could detect. Three factors go into exposure: aperture, shutter speed, and sensitivity. By adjusting these factors, either separately and manually, you can decide the photo to be clicked.
Now just take up the digital camera and start clicking. Excellent photos are now at your finger tips. Smile please.
