Basics Of The Digital Camera - work notes p3

Moving objects are a little blurred. You might imagine this is a bad thing but take an example of running water leaving the shutter speed on for longer will melt the image making a delightful image to the eye very like the way a waterfall appears in the real world. You can take digital photography to the extraordinary with a camera which has a terribly big selection of shutter speeds.

With a surprisingly slow shutter speed, you may have a long exposure of light to the CCD and therefore receive like the famous traffic scenes where the headlights blend into one another into a relentless stream. Digicams come with a slot for a range of media cards. Check when you purchase your camera what kind of storage media it needs. There are many preferred types including Smart Media, compact flash and xD picture cards. So long as you know what type your is you should be able to safely by the right type.

Always ask at your corner store if you're doubtful. If you give them your make and model they need to be able to align you in the correct direction. The scale of the media card you select depends on your financial position but get as much as you can afford. More memory implies that you do not have to switch media cards, and you'll be ready to take photographs in the best quality all the time. You'll soon learn the advantages of having plenty space for storage when you begin to use your camera frequently. The best thing about cameras media is that its just like a film if you do run out you can simply insert another one if you have one with you. It could be a bit of a pain when downloading your photographs to your Computer but far less more of a pain than having to remove some picture as you have run of space on your media card.
