NiMH is the more modern type of rechargeable battery and has been touted as having no memory effect as is common with Nicad type batteries when they are charged before they have been fully discharged. PC Card. Some digicams use a low power flash before the main flash to automatically set the exposure and white balance. CallUrl('www>photographytips>comcfm<2059',1), ~TildeLink() - An image that receives too much light for an exposure. The viewfinder normally has focussing points shown to assist the user in knowing what will be in focus. An effect seen in close-up photography where the viewfinder does not see the same as the lens.

Most picture files are bit-mapped. Professional photographers use a bracket to hold an external flash unit above and off to the side of the lens to eliminate red-eye. Many cameras can adjust the balance of flash and ambient lighting with "flash exposure compensation". Exposure Compensation. Focus Lock. CallUrl('mikeatkinson>nethtm',0), ~TildeLink() - ~TildeLink() occurs when a sensor or film receives too much light causing the resulting photograph to be improperly exposed by too much light. Digicams use both electronic and mechanical shutters. Needs special software to allow and help you do this. This is the CCD (or CMOS) resolution of one million pixels. AVI. The actual value is 1,073,741,824 bytes (1024 megabytes). You can lighten or darken the image by under or over exposing the image. Automatic Focus. The degree to which a colour is undiluted by white light. Used to denote the size of a flash memory card such as 4MB, 8MB etc. These produce lower amounts of power consumption, but are not as popular as the CCD sensors used in most digital SLR's. Depth of Field. Frame Rate. Dye Sub. Basically a non zoom lens. Aperture. Some photo printers such as Pictbridge use this information at print time. It doesn't work so well with non-realistic images, such as cartoons however. It causes rapid change (high texture) areas of an image to appear as a slow change in the sample image. Motion JPEG movie file created by Sony cameras. This can be due to a high ISO, slow shutter speed, or large aperture. A CD-ROM disc that contains high quality video and audio. Plug-n-Play.

These are the card slots found on modern laptop computers to enable the user to insert PC Cards. Is used for illuminating a foreground subject, but allowing a darker background to also be well exposed. The MMC is identical in size and shape to the Secure Digital (SD) flash cards. The auto focus system is continuously working on focussing on the subject. Downloads can also be done via Bluetooth or Infra-red without the need for cables. Colour Correction. Just like your polarized sunglasses it will get rid of glare, the polarizer filter does the same for your digicam. For example, a true colour image has 3 channels, red, green and blue.

This means the camera has a viewfinder that sees through the lens (TTL) by way of a 45-angled mirror that flips up when the shutter fires and allows the light to strike the image sensor (or film). It is often used for landscape photography. 2, 5, 3, 5 or 10 seconds) before the shutter fires automatically. For example, 35mm slide film = 3:2, TV = 4:3, HDTV = 16:9, 4x5 Film = 5:4.

This means capturing a series of images to create a picture wider than what you could capture in a single image, by "Stitching" the photographs together. For example a pixel with 8 bits per colour (red, green and blue), gives a 24 bit image. Avoid ~TildeLink(). Use a flash in a mirror CallUrl('erickimphotography>comdslrtips>comshtml',0), A small aperture may be needed to prevent ~TildeLink() in close-ups due to a minimum output below which a flash cannot be reduced (indirect flash, which is inherently less efficient, can help in this situation).
