  Coupled Device) of main sensor chip

  viewfinder
• Storing Pictures - Reusable memory card or disc
• Displaying pictures- Play back images quickly

RESOLUTION

• One of the most important ratings of a digital
  camera
• it is usually measured in the horizontal by
  vertical resolution, as in "1,280 x 960" or like
  3.2 megapixels" (meaning 3.2 million pixels).
• The higher the resolution, the sharper the
  picture

STORAGE TYPE

• Some cameras use storage formats that are on
  their way off the market, such as SmartMedia,
  CompactFlash(CF), Secure Digital(SD), Sony Memory
  Stick.
• CompactFlash card commonly used, because it comes
  in the largest capacities and relatively cheap
  price.

EXPOSURE

• The exposure setting in a camera is what
  regulates how much light is used to create the
  image.
• In automatical mode, the camera automatically
  detect the light.
• In manual mode, you can handle exposure level by
  aperture priority mode and shutter-speed priority
  mode as well as full manual exposure mode. (to
  0.3 or 0.7)
• Example

WHITE BALANCE

• White balance is a name given to a system of
  color correction to deal with differing lighting
  conditions.
• Normally our eyes compensate for different
  lighting conditions, but when taking a still with
  a digital camera the camera has to find the
  "white point" (the assumption that a white object
  must appear white) to correct other colors cast
  by the same light. (color temperature)
• White Balance mode - Daylight, Cloudy,
  Fluorescent, Incandescent.

PHOTOGRAPHY SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES

• Take pictures behind on the sun.- If you are
  front on the sun, Turn on the forced flash mode.
• Adjust exposure level that the surroundings are
  appropriate.(from 0.0 to 0.3 or 0.7)
• Use the specific shooting mode - Many digital
  cameras offer special modes that optimize the
  camera settings for specific types of scenes.
  landscape, portrait, twilight, and pan-focus are
  among the most common scene modes

• Select your favorite camera- how many
  megapixel/which functions do you want?, extra
  memory card?- Reference site shopper.cnet.com,

• Make a decision where you want to buy - local
  store(bestbuy,circuitcity)/internet shipping
  mall/Amazon.com- Sales tax issues(7.75 in
  California)
• Ordering and waiting.- ground shipping takes
  long time in U.S(67 business days)
• Check out your new camera - bad spot on LCD/CCD,
