Should You Use A High ISO?

• Until consumer digital cameras start adopting the larger image sensors, noise will continue to be an ever present fact of life at high ISOs.
• Another category of digital cameras for advanced amateur photographers -- commonly known as "prosumers" (professional consumers) -- attempt to bridge the gap between consumer and professional digital cameras by using a slightly larger image sensor (at 2/3 in. or 8.8x6.6mm).
• However, the "megapixels race" has meant that ever more pixels are being crammed into a small area. Where before there were 5 million pixels on a 2/3 in. image sensor, now we see 8 million pixels crammed on the same sized image sensor. It is therefore not surprising that noise remains a problem. And which is why you should not be fooled by the "more megapixels is better" mantra.
• A little bit of noise may not be a problem depending on the size of your prints or images for display. There are also a number of noise reduction software (Noise Ninja, Neat Image) that you can use to clean up the noise, though there's quite a bit of post-processing work involved, and you might want to reserve this for the special pictures you want to print large format.
• If it is a matter of choosing between not being able to take a picture and suffering a noisy image, I'd rather be able to take the picture at a high ISO and then try to clean up the noise afterwards in a noise reduction software.
• But remember, to be able to do this, your digital camera must allow you to select a high ISO (ISO 400, ISO 800). Some entry-level digital cameras have only one ISO, usually ISO 64 or ISO 100.

Practical Considerations

• You obtain the best image quality by using the lowest ISO possible on your digital camera. If you want to ensure your digital camera always uses the lowest ISO setting, switch the ISO setting from the default "Auto ISO" (this setting is usually found in the Menu) to the lowest possible on the camera, say ISO 50.
• If you mostly take pictures where there is enough light for a correct exposure, i.e. sunny outdoors, then using the lowest ISO on your digital camera will give you the best image quality your digital camera is capable of.
• If you want to take pictures indoors where light may not be sufficient and in other low-light situations, then you would need to supplement existing light with flash or studio lights. Either that, or select a higher ISO. Of course, depending on your digital camera, a higher ISO may mean a noisy image.
• A large image sensor (APS-sized and larger) means that you are able to use a high ISO speed without unduly worrying about noise. This means that you can take pictures in low-light situations without your pictures being under-exposed. It also means that in situations where it is required, you are able to use a fast enough shutter speed to prevent camera shake. All, again depending on your camera, without much noise.

The Shutter Speed Mystery



Many wonder why the shutter speed does not affect flash exposure. It's simple, the shutter simply isn't fast enough! The duration of the burst of light from the SB-24, 25, 26 and SB-28 ranges between 1/1000 to 1/23000 of a second. The light from the flash must be able to expose the film in one, solid burst to properly expose the film (this is not true with the FP feature on the F5, N90s/F90x). This means the shutter blades of the shutter must be completely out of the way when the light strikes the film or there will be a shadow on the film. Currently with Nikon's focal plane shutters, a top shutter speed of 1/250 is available to sync with the flash. If a shutter speed of 1/500 or faster is used, a dark ban will be on the final photograph (the shadow of a shutter curtain). So why can't the shutter control flash exposure, it's simply not fast enough to freeze that burst of light!

How to Use a Digital Camera as a Webcam



Webcams are a great way to make Internet communication more personal. To start video conferencing, video chatting or even broadcasting events live over the Internet, you don't need to own a webcam. Many digital cameras cannot only function as a webcam, but function better than most designated webcams

• Check the manual of your digital camera to see if it can be used as a webcam. Many digital cameras have this functionality and even come with webcam software. If your camera didn't come with webcam software, use a third party web cam application such as SarmSoft WebCam. Find SarmSoft WebCam at ShareUp.com.
• Plug your digital camera's power adapter into the camera. Some won't function as a webcam unless they are plugged into A/C power. Even if your digital camera functions as a webcam while on batteries, A/C power saves your batteries and prevents your camera from shutting off in the middle of a broadcast.
• Connect a video cable into your digital camera's video "out" port. Your camera likely came with a cable made for connecting it to a to a video source. Plug the other end of the video cable into your video card's video "in" port.
• Set up your camera as close to your monitor as possible. This allows better face to face communication.
• Position yourself about 2 to 3 feet away from your digital camera. Most digital camera's focus best at this distance when used as a webcam.
• Use a separate microphone if your digital camera doesn't transmit sound when used as a webcam. Plug the microphone into the microphone jack of your sound card.

How to Choose The Right Digital Camera for You



Many people rely on digital cameras rather than 35 mm models to capture life's precious memories. With the increasing number of digital cameras gracing store shelves, selecting the right model requires careful thought and consideration. Knowing how you plan to use the camera helps determine the type of zoom you may need and the additional features you may require. Take the time to research the different camera manufacturers and models available before making your digital camera purchase

• Know your budget. Determine how much you have to spend on the digital camera before researching models. This allows you to review the models that fit within your price range and helps avoid the pitfall of falling in love with a camera you cannot afford.
• Assess what you plan to photograph and in what conditions. Knowing this allows you to make informed decisions about what you need, such as the level of zoom necessary. If you plan to take photos for your family albums, then a standard digital camera will suffice. If you plan to use the camera to take professional images, then you may require a high-end model with multiple zoom lenses. Keep your budget in mind when determining the features you actually need versus the features you want.
• Consider the compatibility of the equipment you already own. If you have accessories from another camera, purchasing your new camera from the same manufacturer may allow you to reuse items such tripods, docks and cables. Other items your new camera may reuse include camera cases and memory cards.
• Research the available models that meet your basic criteria and read reviews to learn about other people's experiences with the camera. Find this information online, in brochures or by contacting camera retailers.
• Visit a local retailer to touch and test the different models. A camera may seem like a perfect fit when viewed in print but you may find it awkward or heavy to hold. Avoid disappointment by taking the time to hold the various models to determine which one feels best in your hands.
