Extreme temperature conditions can damage a camera. A camera should never be left in freezing temperatures or extremely hot locations for any length of time. If the camera is not waterproof, dropping a camera into water can damage it. Dropping a camera on a hard surface,such as concrete may damage parts inside the camera.
When a small aperture setting is used, such as f/11, a large depth of field will be achieved. One would use this, say, if they wanted to take a landscape photograph, and have most of the photo in focus.
When a medium aperture setting is used, such as f/4, less of the photograph will be in focus, but not as much as if one were to use an aperture setting of f/1.8. A medium setting like f/4 could be used for a group photo.
When a large aperture setting is used, such as f/1.8, a very small slice of the photograph will be in focus (shallow DOF.) This large aperture setting could be used for plant photography, macro photography, insect photography, etc.

What does DS stand for in DS cards for cameras?
I think you mean SD cards. It stands for Secure Digital.
What is solarization in photography?
It's when whites are turned into darks. A solarized image has to be in the developer for a short time until the image could be a little seen and then dried and exposed again under the enlarger.
I've never heard of doing it this way and can't see how it would ever work for several reasons I won't go in to. The method, as I learned it and always taught it is as follows: with the negative set up as normal, under-expose the paper slightly and remove the negative from the carrier. With the carrier back in the enlarger to block excessive light leakage from the carrier slot, remove the easel and move the print to the developer tray. When the image first begins to appear, place the print in the water bath for about 10 seconds to arrest development. Put the wash tray under the enlarger lens with the print still in it and with the lens aperture stopped down to F16, turn on the enlarger for about 2 seconds and blast the print with the enlarger light. Place the print back into the developer tray and complete the print processing as usual. The effect for a given print can be varied by experimenting with the amount of initial image exposure, initial development and subsequent exposure to the bare light. Alternatively, a 20 watt light source from about 4 feet can be tried instead of the enlarger. The second enlarger exposure could be dimmed if necessary by using a strip of partly exposed and developed film or shortening the time. The exposure can be increased by increasing the aperture. The technique s properly known as the Sabattier effect, and provides better results with high contrast paper. The "silver" lines that are often created between the original dark and "new" dark areas are Mackie lines. They happen because a boundry is created between the first partly developed dark area and the second dark exposure area. Not much development takes place along the boundary line.
Which companies sell imitation or fake security cameras?
Fake security cameras can be found online at a number of websites including Amazon, eBay and Cyberguys. These products can be very effective in deterring crime at a business or private residence as they appear to be part of a security system.
What are Advantages of using gate array in digital design?
The advantages of using an array are that lists of the same data types can be stored easily without the need for a connection to a database. For example, a list of names can be stored in an array and only one variable need be declared.

Who makes up a professional camera crew?
A professional camera crew is typically comprised of 10 positions. Some of the more common positions of a professional camera crew include the cinematographer, director of photography and camera operator.
How do you hook up a security dome camera?
If you have a working security camera, do you need to have a sign up?
Why do people see blue dots for a little while after looking a camera's flash?
They are experiencing "afterimage." The following site explains the phenomenon and offers a simple experiment to demonstrate it: http://www.psychologie.tu-dresden.de/i1/kaw/diverses%20Material/www.illusionworks.com/html/afterimage.html The instructions are to stare at a picture of a black light bulb on t he computer screen and then to shift your gaze to a clear white section of the screen. In addition to that procedure, you can stare at the image as instructed and then close your eyes. In a few moments you will see the same result as you did when you stared at the white space. If you have a flash that you can fire, darken the room, set off the flash to light a nearby area that you are looking at (look at the area that the flash will light, not at the flash itself!), and then close your eyes. The afterimage phenomenon will entertain and instruct you. [spelvin]
How does a camera lens form an image?
Like in your eye, the image is taken in the camera upside-down, and then it is sent to some mirrors inside it that turn it right-side-up. Of course, that is in old-style cameras that print the pictures out. But in modern-day cameras, it is simply electricity that makes the image possible.

By the phenomenon of refraction of light
----
When a ray of light contacts the surface of the lens it is bent by the change in density between air and the lens material; this is called refraction. The surface of a lens has some degree of curvature. So two rays of light that strike neighbouring points on the lens will be bent by slightly different amounts, because of the curvature. A whole band of light striking the lens will be bent by a whole range of angles depending on where each ray in the band strikes the lens. The consequence is that the lens can bend incoming light into an image.
For some illustrations see the wikipedia article about lenses.
The value of your photo will rely on if it is an original first generation photo made from the original negative, a news service photo, or a wire photo printed off a teletype machine, and if it was used or not used in publication. All are highly collectible, and can sell between $20. -$200. in general.
The photo might have an official APP stamp on the back, and include photo credits, or captions. This will add value. Because Joe Pepitone is not included in the picture it might have a lower value, and could sell in the $20-$30 price range. Michael Burke, Lee MacPhail do not sell tickets but the news of Joe Pepitone quitting the Yankees after being fined $500 for leaving the bench will. This Press photo might command more value if it was used in publication. If the photo was filed it might have the news item attached.
Where can you find a driver online for a CD-30 technika digital camera?
I had the same problem windows update should fail and then goes on to ask you to check for a solution it gave me a link to a site the file is zipped its :
SQ905C_DSC_Driver_V2.004_2007MAY28
It gives you "Mydsc2" its a app for viewing pictures on the camera. People have been saying you get an error on vista I did but it still worked I can view the pics I have took.
There is also a web-cam app as well.
I have a problem or a question is the camera suppose to work when you unplug the usb from it as it powers of when I unplug it , or is it just a web cam I got the impression it's a dual camera .
What is a non-digital camera called?
I would say it is an 'analogue' camera - where the visual information is captured by exposing a film to light, rather than as bits of data on a card, converted from visual information by software.
What should you do if people are peeking at you through a changing room door?
Well I don't know what you would do, but I would peek my head out the door and say "exuse me, but i don't think this is a free show" and order them to pay me $5(: then I would say opps times up then hang some clothes on the door from them seeing me continue changing. haha I'm soo clever(:
What two shutter speeds are considered best to freeze motion?
Very generally, higher shutter speeds are better for stopping or freezing motion: 1/500 or 1/1000 of a second and up if your camera goes there. But you must bear in mind that all motion is relative.
For example, say you are standing at the side of a road wishing to photograph a passing car. The car is going, oh, 40 mph (64 kph). As the car comes level with you, you click the shutter at, say, 1/1000 of a second. This will probably stop most of the motion of the car, but depending on how close you are to the car, there may still be some smearing of the car. But motion is relative: If you shoot the car while it is still approaching, 1/1000 of a second will probably freeze it pretty solid.
But suppose you pick up the car in your viewfinder (not all cameras can do this due to what is called "shutter lag") and follow it, clicking the shutter as it passes in front of you and "following through" like a golfer after the swing (this technique is called "panning"). You'll be surprised. Done correctly, the car will be sharper, but the background will start to blur a little. Continue the experiment by slowing the shutter down. Try the same trick at 1/500, 1/250 and on down (remembering to close down your aperture if you must do so manually). What happens? How sharp can you hold the car? How much does the background blur? Do you get an increasing impression of speed? Try this trick with your kid going by on a tricycle. You can make the youngster look like s/he's at NASCAR!
Another example: you're at the skateboard park and a boarder is flying up the ramp into the air. There is a moment, a very short moment to be sure but a moment in time where that fellow essentially stops moving, right at the top of his arc. A shot timed for that instant can be made at a remarkably slower shutter and still "freeze" the "motion" because, at that instant, there isn't much motion. Obviously this takes timing and a camera with no shutter lag, and it's usually a lot easier if you crank it to 1/500 or so, but try slowing your shutter and timing your shot and see how much more of an impression of motionyou can capture in a still photograph. There will start to be some smearing of the skateboard as it rotates, the hands and arms may smear, but that's what gives the shot the feel of motion in a still picture. This all takes what a friend calls "spray and pray" but just keep shooting and you may be surprised at the results. (Tip: this is not necessarily a job for your 80 fps motor drive, even if you have such a thing. Use finesse. Shoot for what Cartier-Bresson called "the decisive moment.")
What are some of the features on the sony cybershot camera?
The Cybershot line is best known for its proprietary battery, called InfoLithium, and Carl Zeiss lenses. However, this line has been in existence for a very long time, so particular features are difficult to elaborate on
