Digital Camera Information Guide

By Jason Adams


Aspect ratio represents the shape of a digital image, or any picture in fact, where the first number presents the width of the image and the second number presents the height. Humans will know about the term as applied to television sets (as 16:9 wide screen TVs now are very popular to change out traditional 4:3 units), and the principle is similar here.

Ordinary film cameras more often than not utilize an aspect ratio of 3:2, but a majority of cheap cameras have adopted a 4:3 aspect ratio to be certain images and photos better fit on a regular PC monitor. Monitors with typical resolutions of 800x600, 1024x768, or 1280x960, by way of example, all own an aspect ratio of 4:3, so it only is a good idea to provide images which will fit correctly on these displays. Although photographs usually are manipulated to print on virtually any size paper, particular photo-quality paper is present to permit for high-quality prints to be formed at the correct aspect ratio.

The pictures seized using a digital camera must be taken out in some way to receive them onto a working computer, and also directly onto a photo printer. Generally, digital cameras have a cable to connect to a home PC either by way of serial, USB, USB 2.0, or Firewire.

Serial plug-ins are merely about extinct at this stage due to their slower link velocities and shortage of plug-and-play guidance, however, some older or cheaper models should still supply serial connection.

USB will probably be the most common kind of connection, and if speed is significant to you, check specially for USB 2.0 support, since it is up to 40 times faster.

A number of specialized cameras may take benefit from the increased speed Firewire protocol for hooking up to a notebook computer. Pretty much all modern computers feature at least a set of USB ports, but not all PC systems contain Firewire. Firewire abilities may be added to any computer using an available PCI slot by employing an expansion card.
