How does shutter speed control the amount of light entering a camera?

The Shutter Speed. If the shutter speed is positioned at 2000 you'll have a very quick exposure, this is best used if its very bright outside.

If the shutter speed is at 75, you'll have a very long exposure, best used if its cloudy or dark.

How do you upload your videos from camera to YouTube?

First, you download realplayer. It is completely free and shouldn't hurt your computer. Then, you roll over the video you want to download and when the little thing comes up and says, "Download this video" you download it. There is a tutorial on how to do this on youtube.com

What impact did ansel Adams have on society?

Can you take cameras to Qualcomm stadium?

The Wembley website states that you cannot take any "professional cameras or recording devices" into the stadium. I have been to plenty of games and concerts there and seen many compact cameras and camera phones being used. So any standard camera below an SLR seems to be fine. Before I knew this I once made the mistake of taking an 'Bridge' SLR (so not even a full SLR) and I was treated like a terrorist, being pushed into a side room, interrogated for 10 mins, had my camera confiscated and was almost refused entry to the gig even without my camera. They completely refused to accept that photography can be a hobby as well as a profession. You have been warned!

What is perspective in photography?

As an analogy, stand directly in front of a mirror. Note what you see. From the center position, step one foot to either side and note what you see in the mirror. Every position gives a different perspective, though the mirror remains the same, and so do you.

Issue 1 example:

At 20 years old, you think the government should give free college education to everyone. However, by as 40, you decide that no entity "owes" anyone anything in life. What changed is your perspective.

Issue 2 example:

Your friend's uncle firmly believes in the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms. He bought over 130 rifles and handguns. He boasted about his collection. One day, he was going to clean a handgun but had to go to the bathroom first. While in that room, his 4 yr old grandson got a hold of the gun--- and shot his 3 year old brother! Your friend's uncle vowed to never own more than 1 hunting rifle. He kept it locked up and kept the room locked. His perspective changed after the tragedy.

Issue 3 example:

John, age 14, decided to help his mom, who was ill. He put dishes in the dishwasher, cleaned the table, and straightened up the countertop. He didn't know where to put some things, but he did the best he could. His dad came home and started screaming about the mess in the kitchen. His mom, though, saw how much John had done. Matter of perspective!

What is the difference between 3.6 mm lens and a 6 mm lens camera?

2.4 mm All kidding aside: the 3.5mm lens has a wider angle than the 6mm one. This means that in a picture, you will see a larger area with the 3.5mm lens, but with the 6mm lens you'd see more (sharper) detail.

What is the size of a 35MM frame?

35MM cameras were the most popular type of camera before digital cameras came into popularity. The definition of a 35MM camera is one which uses film which measures 35MM.

How do you watch movies on a digital camera?

Lights, camera, action!

Over the last few years the line between the once totally separate worlds of video and stills photography has been getting gradually more blurred. This is hardly surprising: in the digital era the camcorder and stills camera share so much basic technology that they are, to all intents and purposes, the same thing. They just use components optimized for still or moving pictures.

The growth in video sharing (on places like YouTube) has ensured movie capture has long been a standard feature even on the cheapest compact camera. And now the increasing mainstream adoption of High Definition flatscreen televisions (and advances in sensor technology) has seen a new wave of HD-capable stills cameras appearing in the last year or so.

The HDSLRs are here!

Compact digital cameras have been able to capture short video clips for many years. These movie modes have been more than sufficient for sending as email attachments and web use, but for a long time they weren't of high enough quality to do much else. The good news is that a new generation of cameras - both compact and SLR - has arrived that's capable of capturing high definition video almost as well as it can capture high resolution stills.

Can you change the camera in a mobile phone?

You can pick one of three possible answers to this question, all of which are accurate.

The first answer is that any camera used within its limitations is capable of taking superb photographs. As such, any camera is as good as any other. Don't worry about it; just get out there and take photographs.

The second answer is that all cameras of the same type and in the same price range will take photos of roughly the same quality. There are differences, but you'll have to look pretty hard to see them.

The final answer is that no, not all cameras are equal. There are enormous differences between cameras, and some of them are detailed below.

* Optics. Some lenses (and for those cameras with built-in lenses, cameras) will be sharper and have fewer technical defects (like chromatic aberration) than others. * Metering.Some cameras have far superior light meters to others; Nikon's "matrix" evaluative metering system is alleged to be among the best here. Spot-meters and center-weighted meters as found on pre-80s 35mm film cameras will result in less accurate exposures than a modern evaluative metering system. * Sensors and firmware, on digital cameras, vary hugely from camera to camera. Some sensors have less noise and more dynamic range (able to accurately render a wider contrast range) than others. None of this should concern you if you have a camera already; refer to the first, and best answer on this count. In any case, a technically flawless photograph is not the same thing as a great photograph, or even a good one. Someone with an eye for colour, light, shape and texture will make a far superior photograph on a cheap point-and-shoot camera than someone without the eye for such things shooting the most expensive digital SLR available.

Where can you go for the latest headlines photographs and in depth global news?

There are many ways to find global news and the latest picture updates ect.

firstly they have managed to invent a thing called a television which is used to broadcast news and other 'programs'. These have been a great in everywhere as they are quite often used for entertainment purposes.

Secoundly if you go out to your local shopping centre*, you can usually find a section called magazines and newspaper, these so-called 'newspapers' are not as up to date with television as they are written the night before or early in the morning but have slightly different content to the television.

I hope you can find what you are looking for with this answer, however if you are still having problems then please email me.

thanks

Which radiation is used to take photography in dark?

there is always a bit of light at all times unless i geuss something is specifically designed to let in no light, but the camera has a speed at which it opens and closes it shutter which lets the light go in to affect the film kept on the inside. so the longer you leave that shutter open the longer the light has to go in to effect the film. so since there is less light you have to leave the shutter open long enough for the film to be effected by the light, which is why you need a tripod when taking long photos cause its easy to make the photo blurry. if there is a lot of light you only have to open the shutter for a fraction of a section. unlike in some dark photos you have to open for even a few minutes.

If your picture looks blurry through your camera lens but takes perfect pictures what does it mean?

== == You don't say what kind of camera, so here's a few guesses. Based on your comment, there cannot be anything wrong with the lens. Perhaps you need eyeglasses (or updated vision correction) or a diopter for your view finder, or the viewing system of your camera needs cleaning. These would explain why things look blurry while viewing, but turn out OK. Did you drop the camera recently? If this is a single-lens reflex something in the viewing system--either the focusing screen or the mirror--could have gotten knocked out of alignment.

What camera can take several pictures at once?

You need to find a camera that has Continuous Shooting or Burst mode. Most compact digicams can shoot continuously about 1.5 frames per second (fps) while more advanced DSLR cameras can shoot continuously about 5 fps or more.

This means when you press the shutter release button and hold it down, the camera will keep taking pictures until its internal buffer is full. 5fps means that the camera can take 5 shots in one second.

How do you zoom in on the env touch camera?

in order for u to zoom in u have to put the phone in a lower resolution other wise no zoom

What is the Principles of photography?

A very simple principle in photography that works with all subjects is the rule of thirds. Don't place your subject at the center of your frame. Imagine dividing your screen into 9 equal parts. Your subject must be somewhere around the intersecting points of the imaginary lines. Digital cameras also have this grid on their screens that can guide you in applying the principle.

Other principles include creative angle, proper lighting and focus.

How is geometry used in photography?

A little ambiguous - Im not sure what you mean by "used" in relation to the application creatively, as a subject or technically.

As a subject yes - geometric shapes and objects are photographed daily.

Creatively - The guideline called "the rule of thirds" is often considered when photographing. Other spacial and placement guidelines are also used.

Technically - I assume maths and geometry is used in the making and using of equipment such as cameras and tripod on various levels.

How many pictures on a 2MB memory card in 12 megapixel camera?

What shutter speed should you use at night?

The basic answer is as slow of a shutter as possible without blurring the picture. With no flash and no tripod I am not steady enough to get a sharp exposure at much less than 1/80th of a second. If there is a tripod involved things change. For pictures of people you might get away with as low as 1/40th of a second, but the people would have to know to hold more still than usual for the picture. 1/30th or 1/20th might be used with a flash, where you wish for dim lights in the background such as city lights are desired to be seen, the flash will expose the people and the shutter being open will give the background more time to come through. On a tripod I've exposed as long as 30 seconds, for star field pictures, or interesting pictures of buildings only lit by small security lights or moonlight. You can take a great picture in what seems like darkness with a tripod and remote, even better with a camera with mirror lock-up to get really sharp long exposures.

Is it better to buy a professional camera first or buy one in your budget then work your way up to professional equipment?

You can find great cameras at http://www.cameta.com for great discounted prices. They have a large selection for you to choose from. I bought a great Canon Rebel here and I have been fully satisfied with it for about 4 months!!

What can you do to maximize the number of images stored on a digital camera without modifying the storage device capacity?

Reduce the mega-pixels (mp) - the size of the pictures. Unless you are planning to crop most of your picture, any thing bigger than 3 mega pixels is bigger than the screen of your computer. The smaller the picture you shoot, the more pictures you get. Click on! eD
