If we look backward for a few days ago, so can we pull that one line is the exponential growth, ie a pattern of growth toward digitalization, which began to be seen clearly from since the invention of semi-conductors and flip-flop logic. From since then slowly but surely began to develop an electronic calculator, digital watches, computers, and not just that even the world of telecommunications delivery coding and decoding technology, analog waves that produces a digital wave, in which this seemingly obvious from the use of digital-telex, Facsimile, Television and others.
Now, the combination of wave digital and computer technology, has spawned derivative-speech of no small benefit in the era of industrialization and globalization juag. Cell phones, and emails are some examples of these technological advances. Now, the growth of this rapidly developing technology, so today looks so much different from the past, if the past can be considered as the era of computerization, the present and the future is more correct to say the era of digitalization. This is of course based on the development of technology that will soon digikuti thinking patterns and habits of society.
mage processing, is one gancu his ice pick, where chunks of the past, as people store images in print, negative films and the use of photographic equipment is known to be very expensive these will only be a series of historical and entertainment photography in museums.
Since dihadirkannya first digital camera, lots of professionals who provide potografer negative responses, this of course caused by the results and limitations of technology at that time, however, generally they are hoping to put a sophisticated digital camera.
Factor habits, also a successful barrier digital cameras in those days, where every digital camera should be equipped with computer equipment to process it, even if not, to print them menemuhi difficulties, not to mention saving.
Today, we are not aware with it we have entered the digital era, many large electronics companies such as Canon, Sanyo, ITT, Samsung, LG, Sony etc.. has set its mission towards digitalization, and a variety of digital devices also have them marketed as plasma-screen, mobile phone, CD player and a more prominent again Digital Camera, produced by different manufacturers and features a race for best results.
A professional potografer college graduates from fine arts and photography, Melbourne, Australia, named Genarld Gay, strong belief that a digital camera can replace the conventional camera, and this is evidenced through his works that was held in MOROCCO books, publications production TTL (www. ttlens.com) where his work is made with a digital camera.
Digital Camera Buying Tips
Increasingly, we are increasingly aware, that our needs will be documenting a very important moment. With digital cameras, we will be more easily in our desire to realize them. However, before buying a digital camera, there are a few tips that can hold:
Adjust the purposes Megapixel
Many ads mengexpose megapixels, but also many of us do not understand up to what we need megapixels. Usually, the greater the megapixels of a camera, its price will also be more expensive, but for picture quality, large megapixel does not guarantee good quality. A digital camera with 2 megapixels is enough for daily photos and enough to be seen on the computer screen and printed up to size 6R. If you plan to print at larger sizes, required at least 3 megapixels. Furthermore, if still want to print larger, the greater the megapixel is you need. But if forced, megapixel camera with a small still can print on large paper size, but sometimes the results will look blurred.
Note battery and chargernya
If your camera uses a lithium battery, use do not actually need much attention, is charged and used, over used reply, please in charge again. Bebeberapa camera uses AA battery type. For this type, we may choose to use alkaline battery, or battery that can be refilled. We always recommend every user to use the rechargeable type of battery than alkaline types, is the price of the rechargeable battery a little more expensive than alkaline, but kemampuanya used several times (can be recharged up to 500x normal use), then the price of this battery will be much cheaper . Detailed explanation about this battery, can be found in other articles on this site. But please be careful not to buy a rechargeable battery AA type false, because it’s a lot of supply in the market.
Optical Zoom (and Digital Zoom)
Magnification optical images (this is different from digital zoom). We try to get a camera with at least 2x optical zoom. Most digital cameras have optical zoom facility, and is very useful for our purposes to mengabil image farther distance from our place. Do not be fooled by a digital zoom, an average of all digital cameras have digital zoom facility, but the enlarged with digital zoom will cause the results of our photos so broken and unclear. Better if not forced, try to always avoid using digital zoom. Digital zoom can also be done with software on the PC.
Facilities Assistance for low-light
In the light conditions that are not bright, the camera will usually difficult to get focus before you shoot the object. Therefore, some digital cameras equipped with light assistance (various forms) that functions to help capture photos in places that lack of light. This is very important especially in taking pictures in the room.
Note Memory Storagenya
Some cameras have internal memory in it, but usually not too large capacity. Therefore, we must ensure that our digital camera is equipped with a port for external memory, so that we can provide appropriate additional memory dngan our needs. There are various types of memory that can be used in digital cameras, types and shapes are tailored to the type of digital camera. The price varies, but the greater the capacity, then the price will be more expensive, too. Internal memory on your digital camera can be ignored if the digital camera does not have such facilities.
Try the camera before you buy
Digital camera is similar to other digital media, usually equipped with a menu and control buttons to suit our needs. Amera has several commands easily understandable than other types. The comparison is easy or hard you can conclude if you’ve tried it. Also note the time delay from the start we press the button until the picture is complete shoot taken (shutter lag), there are certain cameras delaynya very long, but it also affects the conditions of space and light where we tried the camera. Try also zoomnya lenses (optical zoom), if can be used to easily and quickly. Know also how long it would be expected from the start turn on the camera until the camera is ready for use. Do not forget to try the LCD and viewfindernya.
Find out as much as possible information
A good idea to know in advance the capabilities, specifications, and the lack of camera do you estimate it to be bought. Ask the experts, or people who’ve used will help us to determine whether the camera is worth to buy. Some websites on the internet provides many reviews about digital cameras, ranging from the global review until the review as much detail-detail. Places the discussion on the Internet is also highly recommended for reference before buying a digital camera.
Additional Features
Many digital cameras are equipped with additional features, one that always there is the ability to record moving images (video). In digital cameras, this feature only as an additional course and his ability is very limited. Hope you do not specify the decision to buy a digital camera from the camera’s ability to record video. Video recordings from a digital camera would not be maximal, a digital camera designed for still images menghasilakan maximum. If you’d intended to record a video, should be considered to buy camcorders or similar devices that are designed for recording video.
Consider buying a card reader
Card reader is an additional tool that is used to read memory cards in digital cameras. By the time we bought a digital camera, would have included cable and driver to transfer / move images from camera to computer. But if we use a device called a card reader, then we would save time to transfer from camera to computer and done in a way that is very easy, except that if we use a card reader, then we do not need the camera is turned on (on) and finally we also battery life can save us.
Tips Choosing a Digital Camera
Camera-Digital.com (CBN)
Digital cameras have the kind of variety and features that sometimes makes us confused to choose according to our needs. Choosing a camera is tricky, especially for users who enter the category beginners or amateurs. Therefore, it is very useful tips for prospective users cameras before choosing the desired digital cameras. Here are some tips before hunting digital cameras.
Resolution
Digital images created by dots, called pixels. This resolution refers to the number of pixels that work together to make a photograph. Usually indicated by a horizontal x vertical. 1280×960 resolution has a total of 1.2 Megapixels. The greater the resolution will produce images that are also better.
Adjust the resolution offered with your choice. Usually a single camera is available in different resolution options. If you just want to send photos via e-mail, 640×480 resolution is adequate. But if you want to print should select a larger resolution, so that the image is not broken and blurred.
Make sure other support features
Before buying, make sure the digital camera you choose several options supporting features such as additional memory capacity. This is to enlarge your image storage.
If you occasionally want to move images, select the camera that supports video because some digital cameras there is only capable of audio only. Adjust to your needs. Video or audio?
Also note the zoom capabilities on offer. Optical zoom into the center of attention rather than digital zoom, the devices that provide facilities kunak and enlarge the image croppping.
Flash (flash)
The average digital camera products equipped with integrated flash. There are automatic or have to press the button on to run it. Flash is useful as a supporter of light.
Pictures taken in dark conditions could still show up with the help of blinding lights.
Consider also whether the slight additional features such as a reduction of red-eye effect. Some products also come with options for shooting photos at night or the night scene.
LCD screen
LCD screen on the back of digital camera lets you see the object. Here you can also view and delete unwanted pictures. Select the LCD screen that contains a large enough resolution so that the colors appear more natural. Screen size also varies. Make sure the screen is not too small, so the image can look up to.
Self-timer
Self timer can usually reach 10 seconds. In addition to self-image photographing easier, this feature is also useful for taking pictures in poor light conditions because it can reduce the pressure on the shock of the shooting button.
Battery life
If you do not want the fun is lost because of the sluggish battery, you need to consider how long this power source can survive. Selecting a battery that can be refilled (rechargeable) is wise and more efficient.
Connections
Consider whether your digital camera can connect with other digital devices such as televisions, printers, PC or Mac. You will be helped by a USB cable.
You can also print images with the help of a USB cable. Some digital cameras have PictBridge support that makes you free to print pictures directly from digital camera even though the brand is different.
The six vendors that pioneered the open standards it is Canon, Hewleet-Packard, Seiko Epson Corporation, Olympus Optical Company, Fuji Photo Film Corporation and Sony Corporation.
Pricing
Do not forget to calculate the price of other supporting devices such as rechargeable battery and AC adapter.
Operation
Select a digital camera that does not take too many shots after the break. Gap of 4 to 6 seconds just might make you less satisfied with the performance of the lean.
Compare prices and warranty
Do not just knit to be sati store. If there is free time does not hurt you to do little research before buying.
Different profit margins to be the source of why the prices you see in stores is not the same one with the other. Notice also the warranty.
Finally, not only enamored of the seductive shape but note the content or features in a product.

Tips & Tricks: Take a picture with Photo Quality Digital Camera
Photographed by using an analog or digital camera in principle no different photography. The difference is, with no replacement of analog camera film, while digital cameras there is no replacement film but with digital sensors.
But digital cameras these days more consumers preferred because the end result can be immediately seen, and repeated if the result is less satisfactory picture. How to produce high-quality photos through a digital camera? Consider some of these tips:
1. Set the camera mode with the largest image size.
The advantage of this mode is to allow you to print in the largest size color photos without the threat of rupture. You also can cut unwanted parts of the image. There’s no point if you buy a camera with a resolution of 5, 6, or 8 megapixels, but you still put the standard image size mode, and not the maximum.
2. Use a quality setting with the maximum level.
Many digital camera images using the JPEG format. JPEG produces a bad image if compressed too much. To have your pictures look like the original, use quality setting with the maximum level.
3. Use JPEG image type.
JPEG, although is lossy (less clear), could be the best option. The reason is, when you take a picture with JPEG format, the benefits also doubled because you can process it with Adobe Photoshop.
SLR cameras usually give a choice whether you want to use JPEG, TIF or Raw. TIF is often used to smelt reproduction of graphic arts, such as in magazines and newspapers. While Raw, save as it is without further image processing.
Compared with the TIF and Raw, JPEG format is easier to maintain with Photoshop. Both these formats (TIF and Raw-red) will only add to your job will be processed during the Photoshop.
4. Remember that Whitte Balance is important.
For most shots, it is recommended to start with Auto white balance mode. The camera function you can read the coloring of the light around it and automatically adjusts itself to optimize the white balance.
Daylight mode suitable for a sunny day, while if it is cloudy, it is recommended that you wear fashion Cloudy. To evaluate the coloring and lighting, do not forget to test it by taking one or two pictures.
5. Do not forget to set the “Low ISO Number” or “Use Auto ISO”.
The results will be more clear picture if you use a low ISO, but the sensitivity of the camera to capture the light will be lower. Meanwhile, if using the ISO too high, as reported by Dale laboratories, would only cause noise in the picture.
6. Optimize the use of histogram.
By using the histogram you can see how the optimal sensitivity of the sensor in the camera to capture an image.
7. Avoid using the digital zoom.
Best to avoid using digital zoom because it only makes chips that regulate the performance level of resolution (pixels) on the camera to be wasteful. Try using the zoom of the lens alone, in order to conserve the use of the chip. Also shots, if you use digital zoom, not as good as when using the zoom lens.
8. Purchase a professional-quality memory cards.
Shooting speed record using a high-quality memory that can keep your camera technology. For example with 40x-speed memory card, can record 3 of 10 shots in a row in 1 second. While with 4x the memory, you can record only 1 image in 3 seconds. Profits, with high-quality memory you do not have to worry about the color shift in the image.
9. Backup of pictures in a CD or DVD.
Prepare an umbrella before the rain is better. Make sure all the creations backup your pictures on CD or DVD, just in case your hard drive corrupted.

How It Works Digital Cameras
If we know the process image in the camera, then when do we shoot can take into account and would like to imagine what the look or the output of the object that we will capture.
In the camera
By the time we pressed the shutter button, the camera happens in stages to process the image. Although only briefly felt, but the stage is done in the digital camera long enough. It’s just that, the process is done very quickly. Here is a description of the process:
1. Lens to capture an image, and then forwarded to the panel catcher image. Catcher image or so-called CCD sensor, which also serves as a view finder, sending images to the LCD. While the DSLR camera, the image is also passed to the reflection mirror that reflects the image to the window peep (eye finder).
2. Images are captured by the lens, color filter is passed on to then be captured by the CCD or image sensor. The distance between the lens and the sensor is known as the focal length. This distance will also be a factor in the lens.
3. CCD task is to transform the analog signal (image captured by the lens) into an electrical signal. In this CCD sensors there are millions of points known as pixels. So the term pixels or megapixels on digital cameras actually refers to the number of points on this sensor. The smaller the sensor and the more points the sensor, the more refined and higher resolution images produced.
4. Images are captured by the CCD sensor forwarded to the image processing tasks to process all the data from the CCD sensor into digital data of image format files, and compression processing according to the selected image format (RAW, JPEG, etc.). In this section other than the role chipset, software
(firmware) from the camera in question also determines the outcome of the picture. The second part is what will determine the character of the digital camera. That is why, each of their cameras have software and its own chipsets in their cameras.
5. The last process is to send the image files in the selected format to the storage (storage) or memory card. Typically, a SD memory card, CF and so on.
6. The next stage of the process adlaah done outside the camera. But in the modern digital cameras, still provides a direct printing option called PictBridge, ExifPrint and so on.
Thus the process of drawing on a digital camera. But these steps only basic or foundation of almost all digital cameras. In some brands of digital cameras, usually still add a few processes to improve picture quality, including the addition of features on casement or software applications.
Additional Features
Additional features of the function at the level of the software more often we meet, for example, the addition of frame images, effects such as the Sephia photos, black and white, etc.. Although these effects in addition to nature only, but sometimes very helpful to reduce the image at the time of printing.
Some additional features are very useful is the backlight, which is photographing objects back light, white balance, face recognition for photography as well as anti-shake models that have cameras on each term as varied as anti-shake, MEGA OIS, VR (Vibration Reduction), Super steady shot, and so on.
Some consumer grade cameras are even equipped with a program that automatically adjusts shooting for special events like fireworks, shooting night, outdoor, indoor, and sports.
In addition to understanding the composition and photography techniques, mastering the device is the most important part of portraiture. For a photographer, they are loyal to one particular bit more due to the mastery of the camera in question, other than the character of the camera also determine.
So, if want to find the best camera, then you are actually looking for a camera that fits with your character and habits. So believe in yourself, because the end result you’re decisive.
