Camera Type
|
Compact
|
|
There are 2 main types of camera: The SLR and the Compact.
SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. SLR cameras use a prism to reflect the exact image as seen through the lens and so offers a more accurate viewfinder. SLR cameras have detachable lenses offering greater flexibility if you wish to take a variety of different photographs.
Compact cameras have a built in lens and an ‘above lens’ viewfinder which is less accurate but they are often cheaper, more sleekly designed and easier to carry anywhere with you to capture that moment perfectly without having to fiddle with complex settings or a bag full of lenses.

Optical zoom ratio
|
3
|
|
The amount by which the camera optics (lens) can bring the subject closer.
|
|
Screen size (Inches)
|
2.4
|
|
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
|
|
Digital zoom ratio
|
6
|
|
Not to be confused with optical zoom, digital zoom enlarges a portion of the image thus simulating optical zoom. In doing so, some image quality is lost.
|
|
Type of image stabiliser
|
Electronic
|
|
If a photo is taken at a slow shutter speed, or at a long focal length, the effects of ‘hand shake’ will be amplified. Some cameras come with built-in image stabilisation which is designed to act against this to produce sharper images.
It’s great for low light shots without a tripod, like at a gig.

|
|
Shortest shutter speed (Fractions of a second)
|
1/1
|
|
This is the fastest speed at which the camera can take a photo. Faster shutter speeds really freeze the action and are great for sports photography.
|
|
Longest shutter speed (Fractions of a second)
|
1/4
|
|
This is the longest exposure your camera will take. The longer you take a photo for, the more light is let in and the more motion is captured.
Long shutter speeds can give fantastic, artistic results.
Try photographing the night sky at 30s or longer to see how the rotation of the Earth causes the stars to curve through the scene.
