Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR)

DLSR stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex or Digital SLR and are more complex than your everyday point and shoot digital camera. DSLRs take more quality pictures than regular cameras and have more options and features that you use, such as the number of pictures you can take in a small amount of time and the different lenses you can use. Also these cameras have more manual settings that you can change resulting in the ability to take different photographs.

How do you copy a VCR tape to a DVD disc?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The easiest way to copy files from the computer to a DVD is to use a backup program with prompts that will tell the user the different steps. If only a few files need to be copied, open the "Libraries" Tab, then click on the file folder to be downloaded. Insert the dvd, and follow the prompts. Hold the mouse on the file, click and hold the left button, and then slide the files to the name of the drive being used for the dvd.

What are some popular brands of dslr cameras?

Asked by Wiki User

If you want great quality video then Canon is the way to go, while Nikon is also coming out with great video improvements, but it costs a lot.

Sony on other hand has great cameras with excellent technology, but Sony cameras do not have a wide range of lens to choose from.

It all depends on what you need.

What kind of digital slr camera is the BEST but not so expensive?

User Avatar

Asked by Xdandooonix

Firstly, this depends on your standard of 'best' and 'expensive'. If you're a professional photographer, you'll want cameras on the top of the range, which aren't cheap - at all. If you take photography as a serious hobby - like I - you'll want something like the Nikon D7100, Cannon EOS 70D etc. As for people who just use photography to pass time, then I recommend the Nikon D3100, Nikon D3200 or Canon EOS 100D.

Can a minolta slr lens be used with a Nikon or canon digital slr?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. The Pentax SLR lens K-mount will fit the Pentax Digital SLR [DSLR] and the Samsung DSLR. Two warnings: (1) you will lose the electronic linkages for some of the automatic functions; (2) the effective focal length of the lens will change. Most current DSLRs have an image sensor that is only about 2/3 the size of a 35mm film frame. Consequently, DSLRs will multiply the focal length of a traditional SLR lens by approximately 1.5: a 50mm SLR lens put on a DSLR will produce an image close to that of a 75mm lens; a 200mm telephoto lens will function as a 300mm lens. At the lower end of the focal lengths, a wide angle SLR lens, such as a 24mm, if attached to a DSLR, would lose its extreme wide angle advantage and function as a 36mm lens. In brief, long lenses will reach further out, but wide angle lenses will lose part of their ability to capture a full scene. Kodak and Canon have announced "full frame" DSLRs: digital cameras that have a sensor the same size as a standard 35mm frame. On such cameras, the SLR lens will retain its effective focal length regardless of whether it's used on an SLR or a DSLR. Neither Pentax nor Samsung has announced such plans for K-mount owners. In any event, the new full-frame Kodak and Canon full-frame DSLRs may be out of an amateur's reach, for they have an announced price of about $8000.

What is the difference between digital SLR and film SLR camera?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A digital camera captures images through electronic sensors called "pixels", which each are sensitive to light. Put enough pixels together, stand back and it looks like a picture. Electronic images are then stored as data on electronic media such as disks or flash memory; a digital camera refers only to the way the image is captured and stored. On the contrary, a non-digital or film camera uses a roll of light-sensitive film contained within the camera to capture an image. "SLR" stands for "Single Lense Reflex", meaning that the operator looks OPTICALLY through the same lense as the camera when taking the picture. Many older cameras had a lens for the operator to look through and a separate lense for the camera. There was a problem with paralax, focus, lense length and image composition. SLR camras solved those problems by providing a system of mirrors, which allowed the user to focus and compose his image properly. When the operator of a SLR camra pushed the shutter release, the mirror moved out of the way and the shutter exposed the film. SLR cameras also allow the operator to change lenses allowing for long shots with telephoto lenses, wide angle shots, ultra-wide angle shots and even mounting to astronomy quality telescopes. The same method is used in some high-end digital cameras, often called DSLM, or Digital Single Lens Mirrorless cameras, because of their lack of a mirror.

It really depends what file format you photograph in. If you shoot in RAW, you will use more space than shooting in JPEG. However, shooting in RAW allows more flexible editing in Photoshop.

Can you use your canon Eos slr lens on a canon dslr?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The short answer is "Yes." The long answer is: All Canon EOS cameras use Canon EF (electro-focus) lenses. They can also use independently made lenses with EF type camera mounts. All Canon DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras can use all Canon EF (or independent manufacturer equivalent) lenses made for film or digital cameras. Most Canon DSLR's have an APS-C sensor that measures 22.2 x 14.8mm. (This is smaller than the 36 x 24mm image size on 35mm film.) In 2003, Canon introduced EF-S lenses that were optimized for the APS-C sensor size. The EF-S lenses will only fit on Canon 20D, 30D, 40D, and 50D cameras (as of 2008) and all Canon Digital Rebel cameras.

Will lenses from 35MM camera work on newer DSLR cameras?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the brand of camera and the type of lens. Most Nikon film SLR lenses will work (in manual mode) on their digital SLR cameras. Many Canon lenses will work on new Canon SLR cameras, but you have to check compatability between the camera model and the type of lens. Sony purhcased the Minolta digital camera division, so all Sony Alpha DSLRs will use Minolta lenses.

What is the difference between point and shoot camera and DSLR camera?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A single lens reflex (SLR) is a camera that uses the same set of lenses to both focus the image on the CCD (digital) and enable the photographer to frame the picture. That is to say, when you look through the viewfinder of a DSLR you are looking directly at the object through the main lens. You are not looking at the digitally re-created picture of the object or through some other lens that is off-center of the main lens.

A point-and-shoot camera will have some other mechanism for framing the picture.

How do you focus a digital SLR camera?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Start by powering on the camera and ensuring you have enough light around.

Next, adjust the image mode to different modes such as Portrait, Landscape, Closeup or Sports depending on what you need.

Now, adjust the aperture to decide the amount of light to reach. The aperture settings are marked by the letter F and a series of numbers. The smaller the 'F' can be the wider the aperture is. The larger the "F" number is the more focus you will have.

Finally, check the shutter speed. In most cases, the shutter speed can change when the aperture is adjusted. Faster speeds give more precise and sharper action shots.

Finally, its time to capture the photo.

Is a Canon AE-1 lens compatible with the Canon digital SLR EF lens mount?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The AE-1 lenses have Canon's FD breech-lock lens mount. They are not compatible with Canon's later EF lens mount.

It may be possible to find an adapter, but performance would be lost, and the lens will not have the features of an EF lens. Best to save your money and get a dedicated lens, either Canon or Sigma.
