Digital Camera Iso
I need an elementary digital camera course on iso, apperature settings, etc. Any good tutorials online?
I have a Kodak 712 IS with 12x optical zoom. I don’t have any training in photography and find that when I zoom, many of my pix are getting blurry, despite stabilizing the camera. Normal shots with the Smart Scene setting are ok, but I believe I need to use some of the other settings, such as ISO and aperature, for dim lighting and zooming. I don’t find any basic info on photography on the Kodak site, other than the user manual, which seems to assume I already know all those terms. I need a website that will get me started using the many features on today’s Digital Cameras. Thanks. judson

I can also recommend this book as an excellent source for a beginner. “Get the Most from Your Digital Camera,” by Simon Joinson.

I am sure that it is not “everything” Simon knows about photography, but it is sure to help you get started.
Best Compact Digital Cameras
Small is powerful, small is a revolution- this is the idea of the technology followed by the compact digital cameras. As the world is getting more and more fast, people want their gadgets to be handy. And, digital cameras are no exception to this. This is the major factor behind the birth of a compact edition of digital cameras.
The digital technology is the most revolutionary discovery in the field of photography. It has attracted the world by producing high quality images in limited cost. The compact digital cameras are comparatively smaller in size and have added many special features to their name. They are, no doubt, one step ahead the digital SLR cameras or any other camera models.
The standard proportions of compact digital cameras can roughly be 3.5 W x 2.5 H x 1.0 D. These dimensions can vary a little here and there, depending upon the type, the model and the brand of your compact digital camera. One interesting thing that you must know about the compact digital cameras is that an ideal compact digital camera has to have the certified label of Jeanspocket. A compact camera with this trademark is so compact that you can keep it in the pocket of your jeans, comfortably. It is a newer striking criterion added to the compact digital cams by fast generation of today.
The whole idea behind the compact digital cameras is that they make the photography fast and simple, without causing any discomfort due to their large size.
There are many plus points in the compact digital cameras, apart from their small size. Most of the models of digital cams have added features to their cap such as multiple scenes, optical zooms, exposure modes and other handy functions. Some compact digital cameras, having 11 mm or less diagonal sensors make fairly low noise at ISO 100. But, at ISO 400 and above, the noise of the camera can be quite bothering. Some compact digital cameras are so small to look at, that they demand a close look from those who wish to buy them.
The range of $200 to $500 includes the most popular selections of the compact and ultra-compact digital cameras. All the brands of compact digital cams offer a vast array of exciting functions and features. The sensor resolutions vary from 3.0 to 8.0 mega pixels and even more. The ultra-compact models can have the size so small like a credit card. They are just less than an inch thick and are equipped with advanced features and high-resolution sensors. the advanced controls include common features like, multiple AF zones, manual settings and sophisticated scene modes.
There are some shortcomings of compact digital cameras also. As the sensitivity of a digital camera can be calculated through ISO, the ISO range of a compact digital camera varies between ISO 50 and 400. While, on the other hand, the ISO range of a digital SLR Camera can range from ISO 100 to1600. This makes the compact digital cameras less sensitive than digital SLR cameras.
There is much advancement in compact digital cameras, as compare to the digital SLR camera. While, in some cases digital SLR camera appears to be having more features than a compact digital camera as well. Your job is to conjure up the best one as per your needs after measuring all the pros and cons.
