How do you minimize JPEG files?

Jpeg files are compressed using a lossy algorithm. The resulting file size and the compression time depend on the parameters of the algorithm. Most common in digital cameras is to trade size for time (weaker compression and a quick response of the camera).

You can re-size the images using any program that supports jpeg (even MS Paint) by opening them and saving them again to your hard drive. Do not overwrite the original before making sure that the results are ok. Some programs like photoshop, irfanview, gimp support also detailed parametrization of the jpeg algorithms.

A better solution is to use an image converter (I suppose here you ask how to reduce the size of taken photographs). Many image converters support batch resizing of all images in one step, fine control of all jpeg parameters, optional re-size of the image in order to reduce the file size even more. I can recommend AZImage as a representative tool of this category (supports everything mentioned, it is easy to use and has a trial period). See the related links.

How are pictures captured and stored within a digital camera?

A digital camera functions much the same way a traditional camera does. It has all the essential parts, lens cover, lens and aperture. The inside of the camera has to function a little differently to generate in image, however. A digital camera actually makes an electronic recording of the image created by light entering into the camera body. A computer chip registers the information as a series of ones and zeros--just like on a regular PC computer, for example. A digital camera can translate electronic information into pixels. Pixels are simply collections of digital squares all scrambled around. You can think of pixels like pieces of a puzzle. How clear a picture might be depends on the resolution, which refers to the degree of detail that can be found in a digital image.

Do digital cameras use flash memory for storage?

yes, most dSLR cameras use CF(compact flash) cards for memory.

How do you use a digital camera?

A digital camera can be a very expensive investment. Despite all of the safeguards that manufacturers build into the units, they are still relatively fragile and need to be taken care of in order to last as long as possible and avoid malfunctions.

The most obvious rule is to avoid dropping the camera. A camera case or strap can help prevent this from happening. Keep the strap around your wrist when using or carrying the camera so that even if you inadvertently let go, the strap will stop the camera from falling.

Be careful not to touch the camera lens. If the lens is not automatically covered when the camera is not in use, keep the camera in a case. It is very difficult to clean the camera lens, especially if oils from your fingers are deposited on it. A dirty lens will yield very poor pictures.

Keep the battery charged. While this is not absolutely vital, it will help in some situations. Modern batteries are different from the older cadmium batteries in that they do not have a charge “memory’. This means it will not hurt the battery to charge it if it is only at fifty or seventy-five percent of charge.

Keep the storage card clean. You may be removing the storage card to use in printers or to load images onto your computer. Make sure that you do not touch the gold or silver colored connectors on the card. Also make sure that there is no dust on the card before you insert it into the drive in the camera.

If your digital camera has an LCD display, use a screen guard. The large display area, usually on the back of the camera, can be easily scratched and eventually damaged. Screen guards are small pieces of plastic that adhere to the LCD display. They are cheap and can be easily replaced.

Finally, it is important to occasionally clean your camera. The surface can collect dust and this dust can make its way into the circuitry of the camera through the space around the buttons or battery/card compartment. Just wipe the camera down gently with a very lightly moistened paper towel. Avoid touching the lens.

Dedicating just a small amount of time to taking care of your digital camera can help to keep it working like new for years to come.
