Study Notes
DSLR Overview
- DSLR stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex, functioning without film, using a digital image sensor to record images on a memory card.
Exposure Triangle
- Comprises ISO, f-stop, and shutter speed, controlling light for proper exposure in photography.
Camera Modes
- Manual Mode (M): Photographer has complete control over ISO, shutter speed, and aperture for image exposure.
- Aperture Priority (A): Photographer sets the aperture, while the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed for correct exposure.
- Shutter Priority (S): User selects a shutter speed, and the camera determines the appropriate aperture for balance.
- Program Mode (P): Camera determines aperture and shutter speed based on ISO and light meter readings.
Focus Features
- Autofocus: Enables automatic focusing capability of the camera.
- Manual Focus: Gives the user control of focus, effective for moving subjects.
Shooting Aids
- Scene Modes: Pre-set exposure levels for different scenarios (Portrait, Landscape, Action, Macro, Night) to assist novice photographers.
- Auto Mode: Automatic setting for aperture and shutter speed to achieve proper exposure (also called Green Mode).
Technical Aspects
- Shutter Speed: Duration the shutter remains open, expressed as fractions of a second, affecting motion capture.
- F/stop: Indicates the lens opening size; higher numbers correspond to smaller openings, controlling light intake.
- ISO Setting: Determines sensor sensitivity to light; lower ISO enhances image quality but needs more light.
Color and Image Processing
- White Balance: Adjusts image colors to ensure areas meant to be white appear accurately, influencing all colors in the scene.
- RAW Image: A digital format that retains maximum data from the camera sensor, considered digital equivalents of negatives.
- JPEG: A compressed image file format, smaller in size due to selective data removal without altering proportions or details.
Miscellaneous
