<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 130%;">Digital Camera Basics Know the rule of thirds and how to use it when taking a picture. Know the optical is the number of pixels and interpolated adds pixels to the image. The lowest digitized zoom adds pixels and high optimized zoom doesn't. Know how adjust flash on and off and the macro setting on and off make sure your camera is set on the highest resolution.

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">Pixel <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">A pixel is a contraction if the term **PI**cture **EL**ement. Digital images are made up of small squares, just like a tile mosaic on your kitchen or bathroom wall. Though a digital photograph looks smooth and continuous just like a regular photograph, it's actually composed of millions of tiny squares.

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">Mega Pixel <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">The main ways that manufacturers categorize their digital cameras is in terms of **//pixel count//.** What this is is the number of individual pixels that go into making each image. This number varies between 3 million (//3 Megapixels//) to around 22 million (//22 Megapixels//). A million pixels is abbreviated to MP, so a 4MP camera has 4 million pixels and a 10MP camera has 10 million pixels.

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">Resolution

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">The amount of detail that a camera can capture is called the resolution, and it is measured in pixels. The more pixels a camera has, the more detail it can capture and the larger <span class="IL_AD">pictures can be without becoming blurry or grainy. High-end consumer cameras can capture over 12 million pixels.

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">Digital Work Flow

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">It is the editing tools you use to enhance your pictures. First set white balance to where you want it, have a backup of your images on the computer or flash drive, selecting the images you can use and edit, convert the file from raw to Jpeg, edit retouch images, and save the changes to your image.

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">Printing Process <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">When you display a digital image on a monitor, the only thing that determines the size of the image is the pixel count and aspect ratio. If your image is a 480Kbyte file which is 800 pixels wide by 600 pixels wide, it will display as a full screen image if you are using an 800x600 display.The way you control how large an image appears on someone's monitor screen when viewing your images on the web is by changing the pixel count.

Megapixel simply means "million picture elements," or the number of dots that make up a photo. Therefore, a one-megapixel image consists of one million pixels. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Resolution <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica; font-size: 110%;">The quality of any digital image, whether printed or displayed on a screen, depends in part on its resolution?the number of pixels used to create the image.
