| Picture resolution (mega-pixel) |
8.2 |
The more pixels will mean a better quality of print. Digital cameras come in a range of resolutions from 0.3 Megapixel up to around 16.7 Megapixel. |
| Image resolution |
640 x 320 |
Refers to the number of pixels used to either capture or display an image. The higher the resolution the finer the image detail that can be seen. |
| LCD monitor (inches) |
2.7 |
Most digital cameras have an built-in screen, which allows you to preview the image you have just taken, so you can delete the images you don't like. It also provides easy access to camera settings and features via the on-screen menu controls. |
| Optical zoom |
5x |
Unlike a digital zoom, the lens physically moves to give magnification to the image with no loss of clarity. |
| Focal length (mm) |
6.2 – 18.6 |
Describes the magnifying power of the camera''s lens. The longer the focal length the greater the magnification. Conversely, the smaller the focal length, the more wide angle the lens. |
| 35mm equivalent (mm) |
38 - 113 |
Most people are familiar with focal lengths of 35mm camera lenses. Digital camera manufacturers describe focal lengths in terms of the lens length on a 35mm camera that will produce a similar area of view. |
| Exposure Modes |
Programmed AE |
A digital camera can have a variety of exposure and scene modes. Exposure modes range from fully automatic to semi-automatic to full manual mode. Scene modes have factory optimised settings for different subjects and scenes. |
| Shutter speeds (seconds) |
4 sec. to 1/1500 sec |
Shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter allows light onto the CCD. The slower the shutter speed, the more motion is recorded by the camera. |
| Maximum aperture |
f2.8 |
Ratio of the focal length of the lens to the diameter of the light rays passing through. Smaller numbers represents more light allowed to pass through. |
| Flash modes |
Mode dial: Auto, Baby, Picture Stabilisation, Red-eye Reduction, Digital ZOOM, Portrait, SP (Scene Position), Movie. SP: Landscape, Sport, Night, Natural Light, Beach, Snow, Fireworks, Sunset, Flower, Party, Museum, Text, Manual |
On fully automatic cameras, the flash fires automatically whenever the light is too dim to take a photo by natural light. On more sophisticated cameras, there are various flash modes you can choose from for more creative effects. |
| Memory card type |
xD-Picture Card |
The types of memory available are: SD card, Sony Memory Stick, CompactFlash card and SmartMedia card. |
| Supplied media card (MB) |
None |
The memory capacity (in megabytes) of the supplied media card. |
| Built-in memory (MB) |
12 |
Some digital stills cameras have an internal (RAM) memory instead or as well as memory cards. (You can download images from your camera (via a cable) to your PC or even direct to your printer). |
| WI-FI |
No |
A technology that enables devices (computers, printers, keyboards, etc) to communicate without wires. |
