Digital Cameras

Digital Cameras and Wide range of camers, handycam and their features:

dynamic range  The ability of the camera's CCD to capture the full range of shadows and highlights.

digital zoom  Digital method to radically increase a camcorder's or camera's zoom ratio to focus in on a distant subject, as opposed to optical zoom, which uses lens movement and has limited range. Digital zoom enlarges the pixels in a digitized image, reducing its effective resolution. Digital zoom is a convenience, but optical zoom is the critical measure of a camcorder's or camera's magnification capacity. Some DVD players also have digital zoom.

picture effects  Built-in programming modes such as Sepia and Negative Art create unique color and contrast settings for the pictures you are going to take.

pixelization  The square-like pattern of a video image that becomes more apparent as the image is enlarged, revealing the individual pixels that make up the image.

PPI  (pixels per inch) The amount of pixels per inch at which an image is displayed or printed affects its output quality. For example, if the image is to be displayed on a monitor, 72ppi to 100ppi is sufficient. If the image is to be printed, it should have at least between 150ppi to 300ppi to reduce the effects of pixelization. (See DPI and resolution)

pixel  (picture element) A pixel is a single point in a digitized or digital image. Pixels are made up of elements to produce a specific color. In a digital image file, a pixel is made up of numeric values representing shades of three colors red, green, and blue (RGB). In a 24-bit image file each RGB color has a total of 256 shades possible, combining the 256 shades for each of the 3 colors with the possibility of up to 16,777,216 possible colors for each pixel.

resolution The density of pixels in an image that a device such as a digital camera can achieve. Higher pixels per inch (PPI) produces a finer level of detail.

Optical: This resolution is most important. It is the maximum resolution that the camera’s chip can capture.

Interpolated: Software enhanced resolution. Interpolated resolution artificially creates more pixels in the image.
