Importance of minimum number of Megapixels

The Medium

How and where pictures are shown determines the minimum number of megapixels needed from a digital camera. The resolution chosen is very important:

• Not enough megapixels means your pictures will appear unsharp or blurry.
• Too many megapixels means you will spend more for your camera and its memory.
• Frequently cameras with more megapixels produce images which are more noisy.

Can we use HDMI Cable in video transferring?

Yes we can use HDMI Cable in video transferring. The function of HDMI Cable in video transferring is the same as transferring of video using an I. Link or FireWire cable.

So what is HDMI?

HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface.

Advantages of using HDMI Cable

The first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface delivering crystal-clear, all-digital audio and video via a single cable and provide consumers with the highest-quality home theater experience.

It provides the best quality of the video since there are no lossy analog to digital conversions as are required for all analog connections (such as component or S-video).

HDMI maintains the audio in its pure digital form all the way to the amplifier.

Difference of Aperture,Shutter Speed and ISO

Using ISO 100

Using ISO 400

Using ISO 800

This article is about the function of Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. (quick reference)

Aperture
refers on how much light a camera can let in at a given shutter speed. Aperture also affects the distances that appear to be in focus when a picture is taken. This is called depth of field (DOF).

Shutter Speed
Shutter speed is the duration for which a camera can record light to take a single picture. The shutter speeds of a camera are described as a range measured in seconds and fractions of a second

Note:
fast shutter - speed gives a camera the ability to capture objects in motion and good pictures in every bright light
slow shutter - gives camera the ability to capture detailed pictures in low light


ISO
defines how film sensitivities are measured
It refers to equivalent sensitivity.

Note: A higher ISO rating means more sensitivity to light but produces pictures with more noise which is similar to pattern of film grain.

Cannot Write to Writable Discs

If you are having problems in burning or writing on a disc, please check if the customer’s disc drive is actually capable of burning to the type of media that they want to use. For example, a combination DVD/CDRW drive will NOT burn DVDs. It can only be use in CD writing.

Example: (checking if the drive has a writing capability)

What is DPOF (Digital Print Order format)?

DPOF (Digital Print Order format) is a format which allows the user of a digital camera to define which captured images on the storage card are to be printed, together with information on the number of copies or other image information such as paper size, image title text, image orientation, contact information and more.

Using Your Camcorder as a Webcam

Site for Free Download Movie Codec’s

Sometimes you are wondering why the videos that you recently downloaded using a digital camera or camcorder is not working properly when transferred to computer. In some case, video can be seen in the computer but there is no sound, sometimes its a vice versa ( there is audio but there is no video output). Others concern is they cannot play it in the computer running their own video player.

For instances like this, the website that I posted is very helpful. You know why? because different video capturing devices can produce different file format and the file format is very important so that the video player software can understand what type of movie is he playing. Best example for this are the following; a cellular phone, cellular phones is producing ***.3gp file format that Windows Media Player cannot play.For digital camera like DSCS650 of sony cybershot the video format is ***.AVI or motion jpeg that Picture Motion Browser cannot play and for Macintosh/Apple computer user's they can download the video properly however most of the time file formats like **.MPG2, MPG4 is not supported by their video player software, sometimes they can play the video but there is no sound other wise they can hear the audio without the video or they cannot play it at all. So that Codec is very important for you to play the unsupported file format of your player.

Feel free to ask me any question or feedback regarding this article and I'll be happy to answer all of your Technical Questions.
