22. Digital ISO Settings ISO number indicates the light sensitivity of the image sensor The higher the number the more sensitive to light but quality goes down The lower the number the less sensitive to light but the quality goes up Rule: double the ISO number and the amount of light needed for a good exposure is reduced by half 80…100…200…800…1600…

24. Exposure 0 (Zero): Normal Exposure + (Plus): Overexposure [adds light] - (Minus): Underexposure [reduces light]

25. Histogram Range of tones from dark (right) to light (left) Shows contrast “Spread” desired “Spiking” at either end shows over- or underexposure.

30. Auto –the camera makes a best guess on a shot by shot basis. Daylight/Sunny – use in direct sun Cloudy – outdoor shooting to add warmth. Shade – the light in shade is generally cooler (bluer) than shooting in direct sunlight Tungsten –shooting indoors, especially under tungsten (incandescent) lighting (such as bulb lighting). It generally cools down the colors in photos. Fluorescent –compensates for the ‘cool’ light of fluorescent light and will warm up your shots. Flash – used with a flash

31. Custom White Balance Set camera to Custom/Evaluate Photograph a something that is pure white (a piece of paper) to tell the camera how to balance the image. Changes with scene

32. Date Stamp TURN IT OFF!!!! …now! please.

33. Choosing a Camera Consider the following: Budget Consider output requirements = resolution needed Exposure control needed Type of camera: Point & Shoot vs. DSLR Features and controls you want Check exposure compensation controls Manual white balance Adjustable ISO Image quality User-friendly controls
