• Digital cameras• Scanners• Office clipart/graphics• Internet websites

Picture Quality Settings• Pixels- the smallest part
of a digital camera’s sensor (mega= 1 million)
• The larger the megapixels, the larger the file size– change settings on
camera– reduce size in software
• file formats– jpg (smaller)– tiff
Resolution Needed
Max. Print Size
1 megapixel 4x6
2 megapixels 5x7
3 megapixels 8x10
4 megapixels 8x10
5 megapixels 11x14
6 megapixels 16x20

Zoom In• Optical Zoom
– the lens physically extends to magnify the subject
• Digital Zoom– crops an image and magnifies the result of
the cropping– image quality is sacrificed

Shooting Modes
• Landscape: outdoor scenes at a distance
• Macro: ultra close up of small objects
• Portrait: close up shots/head & shoulders
• Action/Sports: freeze action with a faster shutter speed
• Night shot: a slower shutter speed when it’s dark
• Panoramic: shoot several pictures and stitch them together to create banners1

Other Features• Flash settings• Shutter speed• Aperture• Self-timer

Flash Settings• Auto: camera decides when to flash
• Flash on/Fill Flash: – turns flash on even in good lighting– use outdoors to eliminate harsh shadows
• Flash off:– turns flash off even in low lighting– use for sunsets, etc. … be careful of camera
shake
• Red-eye reduction:– gives an extra flash to minimize red-eye

Shutter Speed• Shutter speed is the time in which the
shutter is held open to allow light to reach the imaging sensor. The greater the denominator, the faster the speed.
• A 1/125 setting means the shutter curtain opens and closes within one hundred and twenty fifth of a second while 1 means a one full-second the shutter opens up during exposure to absorb the available light source.
![Page 11: Digitalized!](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56814012550346895dab547b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
ISO• ISO is roughly equivalent to film speed.
What ISO denotes is how sensitive the image sensor is to the amount of light present.– use a higher ISO to take pictures in low
light without flash, such as in a museum or at sunset (e.g. ISO 400)
– use a lower ISO to achieve a motion blur (e.g. ISO 100)

Aperture• Aperture is a hole or opening through
which light is admitted– the smaller the aperture number (e.g.
f/1.4), the greater the opening, and the larger the depth of field (background is in focus)
– the larger the aperture number (e.g. f/16), the smaller the opening, and the smaller the depth of field (background is blurred)
