Shutter Response

Shutter response, or shutter lag, is the delay between the moment you press the shutter release button and the moment the camera captures the image. Anyone who has tried to catch a candid moment with a digital point-and-shoot camera knows the frustration of repeatedly missing the peak action. A responsive shutter release like that usually found on SLR cameras is much better.

What is “wide angle” view? Wide angle encompasses what you see from left to far right in one picture frame. This is called a field of view and is measured in degrees (your eyes normally have a field of view of almost 180 degrees). The wide field of view also applies from top to bottom. Great for landscapes.

Your Zoom Lens

Most point and shoot cameras come with one zoom lens that covers a focal range from somewhat wide angle to telephoto.

Zoom lenses come in two varieties: optical and digital. Without going into great detail, suffice it to say that you should avoid digital zoom at all costs. Digital zoom uses software tricks to “enhance” the image. The result is often unsatisfactory. Insist on optical zoom.

Buying a new camera? 
With so many choices, buying a camera can be confusing. Fortunately, almost all digital cameras can be readily grouped by the intended audience for which they were created by the manufacturer: Basic Point & Shoot, Mid Range Point-and-Shoot Cameras, Advanced Compact Cameras, Subcompact Cameras, Super Zoom Cameras, and finally SLR Cameras. Keep in mind your photographic style and preferences as you evaluate the features. You’ll need a clear set of priorities to steer you effectively to a decision.

Storage media = memory cards

- Format your memory card before first use.
- Format your memory card after every use.
- Only format your card after you have downloaded and made a backup of the images on the card.
- Use several smaller capacity cards instead of one large-capacity card in case of loss or damage.
