journalism

Journalism and photography appears in the developing world has been once, but in another case with Indonesia, the image created in the first by an Indonesian citizens occurred in seconds when the nation is successful escape from the fetters of occupation chain. Alex Mendur (1907-1984) who worked as head of news photo Domei Japan, and adiknya own Soemarto Mendur Frans (1913-1971), the reading text monumentalize Proclamation of independence with the Indonesian republic Leica camera, and when it is 10 o'clock on the morning of 17 August 1945 photo journalist born Indonesia.

Photography JurnalistikDefinisi photography can be concluded with the characteristics inherent in the images produced.

The characteristics of photo journalists:
1.Memiliki news value or become the news itself.
2.Melengkapi a news / article.
3.Dimuat in the media.

A photo can stand on its own, but without a photo journalistic feel less full, the image so important, because the image is one of the visual media to record / or perpetuate a narrative of events.
"All the image is basically the documentation and photos are part of a journalistic photo documentation" (Kartono Ryadi, Kompas daily photo editor). Photo journalists, the difference lies in the choice is, make photo journalists, which means selecting a suitable image. (Ex: in the wedding events, documentation means taking / take photos all events ranging from reception to complete, but a journalist take a photo only of interest, whether or public figure at the cutting time "tumpeng tumpengnya" fall, khan interesting) things that distinguish between photo documentation with the journalists, the image is limited to whether the image was published (the media) or not.

The value of a picture element is determined by a few:

1. Timeliness.
2. Related to the news.
3. Extraordinary events.
4. Campaign.
5. Interest.
6. Human Interest.
7. Universal.

Photo journalism divided into several sections:

1. Spot news: The images insidential / without planning. (ex: an image of disaster, riot, etc.).
2.General news: Photo of the plan (ex: SU MPR photo, sports photo).
3.Foto Feature: Photos to support an article.
4.Esai Photo: Collection of some images can be told.

Photo of a successful
Limitation successful or not depends on a photo journalism in the preparation of cooked and hard work rather than the fortune. Indeed can not be denied that there was an image that is the result of "being in the right place at the right time". But a professional journalist is a journalist who research the subject, capable menetukan events such as the image potential and what will support it (anticipation). That's all very important considering that a good moment lasted only seconds, and the impossible to repeat it again.

Ethics, empathy, this world is a very important and a value that journalists have in the photos.

A photo journalist can describe the incident should indeed work through the photos, the resulting core image should be told so that people without the need to explain is to understand the content of the images and manipulate images without it.

Digital Camera Buying Tips

The older, the more we realize that we will need documentation of a moment it is very important. With digital cameras, we will be more easy to achieve the desire we have. However, before buying a digital camera, there are a few tips that can be a specialty:

Customize purposes Megapixel
Many ads that mengexpose megapixel, but also many of us do not understand up to what we need a megapixel. Usually, the larger of a megapixel camera, the price will also be more expensive, but for picture quality, large megapixel does not guarantee good quality. A digital camera with 2 megapixel image is enough for day-to-day and enough to be viewed on a computer screen and printed up to size 6R. If you plan to print on the size of the large, required at least 3 megapixel. Then if I still want to print larger again, then the greater the megapixel is you need. However, if imposed, megapixel camera with a small can still print on the paper size is large, but sometimes the results will look blurred.

Note the battery and chargernya
If your camera uses lithium battery, pemakaiannya does not require too much attention, just charged and life, I completed used, please call in again. Bebeberapa camera using AA battery type. For this type, we may choose to use alkaline battery, or battery that can be charged back. We always recommend that every user to use the rechargeable type of battery than alkaline type, the price of the rechargeable battery a little more expensive than alkaline, but kemampuanya used several times (can be filled back up to 500x the normal), then the price of this battery will be much cheaper . Detailed explanation about this battery, can be sought in other articles on this site. But please be careful not to buy the rechargeable battery type AA is false, because now many outstanding dipasaran.

Optical Zoom (Zoom and Digital)
Perbesaran optical images (this is different with the digital zoom). We try to get a camera with at least 2x optical zoom. Most digital cameras have optical zoom facility, and this is very useful for the interests of our mengabil picture for quite a distance away from where we are. Do not terkecoh with digital zoom, the average digital camera has all the digital zoom facility, but the results perbesaran with the digital zoom will result in the images we so broken and unclear. We suggest that when not forced, always try to avoid the digital zoom. Digital zoom can also do with the software on the PC.

Help facility for low-light
In the light conditions that are not clear, it is usually difficult to get the camera will focus before we shoot the object. Therefore, some digital cameras are equipped with light assistance (various shapes), which works to help place the images on the less light. This is very important especially in the photos in the room.

Note Storagenya Memory
Some cameras have internal memory inside, but the capacity is usually not too large. Therefore, we must ensure that our digital camera equipped with a port for external memory, so that we can provide additional memory dngan according to our needs. There are different types of memory that can be used in digital cameras, types and shapes are tailored to the type of digital camera. The price varies, but the larger capacity, then the price will be more expensive as well. Internal memory is in digital cameras you can ignore when the digital camera does not have such facilities.

Try the camera before you buy
Digital camera is almost the same as other digital media, usually equipped with menus and buttons with the controller is adapted to our purposes. camera have some that are easy to understand compared to other types. Comparisons can be easy or difficult, if you have to try it. Also note the time delay from the start we press the button to shoot a picture taken finish (SHUTTER lag), there is a camera that delay very long, but this is also a condition of space and light where we try camera. Try also zoom lenses (optical zoom), whether it can be used easily and quickly. Also know how long time must be awaited from the camera until the camera is ready for use. Do not forget to try the LCD and viewfinder.

Learn as much as possible information
It's good to know you first capability, specification, and the lack of a camera that you purchased for the appraiser. Ask the experts, or people who have been using will help us to determine whether the camera is eligible to be purchased. Some websites on the internet provides many reviews about digital cameras, ranging from the global review detail-up to review the details. Place a discussion on the Internet is also highly recommended for reference is made before buying a digital camera.

Enhancements
Many digital cameras are equipped with additional features, one who is always there is the ability to record a moving image (video). In the digital camera, this feature only as an additional and very limited ability. Please do not specify your decision to buy a digital camera from the camera's ability to record video. Results from the video recording digital camera will not be maximal, a digital camera designed for still images the maximum. If you want more video recording, you should consider to buy handy-cam or a similar tool that was made to record video.

Consider buying a card reader
Card reader is a tool that is used to read the memory card on digital camera. At the time we buy a digital camera, must have included cable and driver to transfer / move images from camera to computer. However, if we use a tool called a card reader, then we will save time to transfer from the camera to the computer and be done in a way that is very easy, besides if we use a card reader, then we do not need the camera is turned on (on) and finally, we also age battery can save us

Nikon Introduces New Confocal NEXIV, VMZ-K6555


Nikon Corporation (Michio Kariya, President) is pleased to announce the launch of the new Confocal NEXIV VMZ-K6555. The new Confocal NEXIV VMZ-K6555 is designed for faster and more accurate non-contact 3D measurements on larger size substrates, probe cards, and other applications requiring large stage travel. Higher magnification optics is incorporated in the design of the new Confocal NEXIV VMZ-K6555.
Product Information
Product name: Confocal NEXIV, VMZ-K6555
Start receiving orders from: March 30, 2009


Product Concept

The new Confocal NEXIV VMZ-K6555 has been designed with longer XY travel (650x550 mm) to cover the non contact 3D measurement requirements of larger substrates such as recent cutting-edge interposer substrates, and probe cards with greater accuracy and faster measurement speed. In addition, the new Confocal NEXIV VMZ-K6555 optical head employing the newly designed higher magnification objective lens (30x) can be configured for better resolution power along the XY plane.

Similar to the current Confocal NEXIV VMR-K3040ZC, the new Confocal NEXIV VMZ-K6555 continues to allow for both 2D measurements on brightfield images with a CNC 15x zooming optics and 3D measurements on confocal images. Furthermore, TTL scanning laser automatic focus and Video image automatic focus functionalities have been added to the new Confocal NEXIV VMZ-K6555 for more flexibility.

For faster measurement speed, the standard confocal optics using lower magnifications such as 1.5x, 3x and 7.5x has been redesigned and employed. The system can be configured either with built-in high magnification CF optical head or with built-in standard magnification CF optical head so that it can be optimized for broad variations of complicated and smaller measuring targets on any measuring application.

Features

1. Longer XY stage strokes
650x550 mm strokes are realized for the inspection of 510 mm square interposer substrates or 500 mm diameter probe cards or any application requiring large XY stage travel.
2. High magnification lens 30x and high magnification CF optical head (Type H)
The dedicated 30x objective lens and high magnification CF optical head have been newly designed to produce higher resolution for the measurements of smaller line width and spacing.
3. Optional standard CF optical head (Type S)
Dedicated objective lenses such as 1.5x, 3x and 7.5x are used with a wider field of view for the standard CF optical head for faster measurement speed.
4. TTL scanning laser AF and vision AF now available on the VMZ-K6555
The renowned NEXIV automatic focusing capabilities have now been added to the new Confocal NEXIV VMZ-K6555 for the ability to easily accomplish much more complex measuring applications.
5. Higher resolution power and higher traveling accuracy on the Z axis
Z axis travel resolution is now 0.01 µm and traveling accuracy on the Z axis is now 1+L/150 µm1+L/1000 µm, regardless of the type of confocal optical head.
(Revised on March 24, 2009)
6. LED light source
For episcopic and diascopic lighting, the halogen light source has been replaced with LED light allowing for longer life and brighter images.

Specials Underwater


Will you be spending your vacation on a beach, beside a waterfall or along a scenic river? Maybe you're just going to spend your time in a swimming pool with the kids. So why not shoot while in the water?

There are beautiful pictures to be had both above and below the surface of the water. Since most of us don't have the right equipment to take our SLRs under water, you've probably looked at disposable underwater cameras and wondered about their quality.

Some Basics
Earth. Perhaps our planet has the wrong name, it's mostly covered by water. We're surrounded by water in the oceans, rivers, and even in our swimming pools.

But taking photo equipment to the beach can be dangerous for our cameras and lenses. Sand, salt water and harsh sun are all concerns. There are plenty of articles full of advice about cleaning and taking care of photographic equipment at the beach, the dangers of salt water, moisture and sand. These concerns prevent many photographers from enjoying the great photo opportunities that exist on, around and in the water.

What do we need to know about underwater photography? What kind of equipment exists?

Basically there are three kinds of "wet" photography:

Surface Photography You shoot with the camera close the water's surface, showing someone swimming, surfing or just playing. You practice this kind of photography when boating, canoeing, rafting, running rapids and participating in other water sports. In this instance the camera isn't taken underwater but it's always in danger of getting wet. Some professional and even amateur compact cameras are fully sealed to allow their use in such conditions but it's not possible to fully protect most amateur and prosumer cameras, compact cameras, SLRs or DSLRs unless you purchase custom built and expensive housings.

Low Depth Underwater Photography This is photography at a depth of less than 10 meters or 33 feet of water. Most compact underwater cameras experience problems below this depth due to light loss, a weak flash or increased water pressure.

Deep Water Photography This is true underwater photography using professional cameras, underwater housings, and sealed external flash units.

Deep water photography requires a significant investment in both photography and diving equipment as well as time spent learning the skills to dive safely. Your reward is the unbelievable beauty of the flora and fauna that inhabit the seas and coral reefs.

OK those are the options for those who want to shoot in and around the water on a regular basis. But what are the options for those of us who don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on underwater equipment we'll use only once or twice a year during vacations or holidays? Equipment that will only collect dust in a closet the rest of the year.

Well for the rest of us there are disposable underwater cameras. Disposable underwater cameras are simple compact cameras (just advance the film and press the shutter release) encased in a plastic or acrylic housing. They can be used in and around the water and for low depth underwater photography, but while some are capable of withstanding the pressure of deeper water, the lack of light will render them useless in deep water.

The biggest problem with these cameras is their lack of flash. Why is that a problem?

Water acts like a big blue filter. The deeper you go, the more the red spectrum is filtered out and the bluer your pictures become. When your camera has a flash you supply your own light and your own red spectrum. The result are images with true vibrant colors.

According to the manufacturers of the disposable underwater cameras, eliminating a powerful flash avoids the risk of electric shock in case of water leaking into the case, and avoids film damage from fumes given off from batteries sealed inside the camera case. An onboard flash can also create severe problems with "backscatter". A condition where small particles floating in the water reflect the flash making it look like your subject is obscured by falling snow. All these problems are corrected on more expensive systems through the use of sealed external flash units.

So with these limitations why use a disposable underwater camera at all? Because used properly, at shallow depths where the sunlight is less filtered you can get great pictures.

Keep the following in mind:

- The water is a big filter and it also distorts the image, especially when you're shooting in strong currents. So the object is to get as close as possible - while maintaining a safe distance from wildlife.

- Check the clarity of the water. A lot of sand or small particles in suspension in the water will result in poor images. You'll generally too much sediment kicked up in the water after storms.

- Shoot between the 10 AM to 3 PM to get the maximum sunlight available. The high angle of the sun will even extend the depth to which you can shoot. The low angle of early and late sun limits its penetration below the surface.

- Don't exceed the depth your camera is rated for or you may bring a camera full of water to the surface instead of a camera full of photos.

About Composition in Photography



Composition simply meant as a way up the elements in the picture, these elements include line, shape, form, color, light and dark. The way you arrange the composition in the viewfinder will diinterprestasikan after your picture is printed. The main aspect of composition is the visual impact-an ability to convey the feeling that you want to express in your photos. Thus, you need to arrange such a way so that you achieved a goal, whether it is to convey the effect of static and silent or sesuatumengejutkan, different, eksentrik. In classical composition there is always the one point that first attract the attention attention. This is because the regulation position, subordination, in contrast or light intensity than its surroundings or the subject in such a way that the established way to bring attention to the observer at one point.

Overall, the composition of the classic has a good proportion of the fun. There is a balance between dark and light, between the form of open space and solid colors or with bright colors dim. At a certain opportunities, may be needed when you need your whole symmetrical composition. Often the images that you create more dynamic and visually more interesting when you put in the subject. You should avoid even a line of vertical divider.

To avoid an image that also required the presence of dynamic movement. This rhythm is due to the repetition many times a small-sized objects. The presence of rhythm in the striking image of a movement.

Line
Photographers often use a good line in the works to bring their attention on the subject of the main observer. Lines can also cause the effect of depth and movement of the image. When the lines themselves are used as the subject, which is going to be pictures attract attention. Not important whether the straight line, curve or circle, to bring the eyes out of the picture. The most important lines that become dynamic.

Shape
One of the most simple formula that can make a photo interesting is the attention to give priority to a visual element. Shape is one of them. We generally assume the shape as an outline for creating a shape formed, essentially, the subject image, the image is considered have the power and visual quality of the abstract. To make a protruding shape, you should be able to separate the shape from the surrounding environment or from a background that is too crowded. To create a strong contrast between shape and form a shape surrounding it. Contrast this can occur as a result of differences in light or dark color differences.
A shape, of course, does not stand on its own. When entering into a scene that contains two or more of the same shape, we can also crop a shape to enhance the image quality.

Form
When can shape their own mengindentifikasikan object, the form is still required to make an impression and three-dimensional solid. This is an important factor to create the effect of depth and reality. This quality of being derivative and light tone, which then form the lines of an object. Important factors that determine how the form is the form the direction and quality of light on the object.

Texture
A photo with a prominent image teksur can be a creative form of shape or pattern. If adequate, the texture will give realism to the image, bring depth and three-dimensional effect to your subject.
Texture can be seen clearly on the two sides are different. It's the texture that can be found when we juxtapose themselves on the subject to increase what we see, for example, when we want to photograph the surface texture sehelai leaves. There is also a time where we must reverse because the subject heading that we are the very knowledgeable. Texture also appear when a light dash surface with a low angle, shadows form in the same area.
Photographs texture is considered successful if the photographer can communicate in such a way so that the observer can feel as if the image is when the touch surface. Similar to the pattern, texture is best shown with a few variations and appears to widen out to the limit of the image.

Patterns
Pattern repeated in the form of shape, line and color are elements of other visual elements that can come into focus. The existence of a cause that the repetition effect ritmik and harmony in the picture. But, too much uniformity will lead to a boring picture. Confidential use pattern is to find variations that observers are able to catch attention.
Pattern usually is best expressed with the uniform. Although the lighting and camera angle to make shooting a picture is less likely and possible effects kedalamannya something that repeatedly become prominent.
Learn the principles of composition above, the following are some types that you can use:

Rule of thirds
Imagine there are lines that form a guide nine fruit rectangle the same on a large image. Elements of the image that appears in the corner-corner rectangular center will get maximum traction.

Format: Vertical Horizon or
Proportion rectangle on viewinder allows us to do the shooting in the landscape / horizontal or vertical / portrait. Differences in the format could cause a different effect on the final composition. Look at the viewfinder horizontally or vertically, and specify the creative decisions for best results.

Keep it simple
In some circumstances, the best option is keep it simple. It is very difficult for people to see a photo when too much attention to an interesting point. Generally, the more 'crowded' an image, the image is less interesting. Try to concentrate attention on one point and maximize resources tariknya.

Picture scale
An image that appears to be ordinary but interesting because there is a small point of interest concerns. The landscape shooting or Monument, develop shooting attraction by adding a known amount of the object as a starting point to give attention to the scale effect of the comparison.

Horizons
Alter the balance of the heavens and the earth can change the image of the radical. When the image is almost filled by the heavens will give an impression of plain and wide open sky but when disisakan only slightly at the top of the image, the impression will arise in full.

Leading lines
The eyes of the person who brought the image to see in the picture or take a picture. In general lines this form:
Lines that are visible such as the physical Marka road is not visible or directly such as shadow, reflection.

Be different
Perhaps there is shot-shooting that may be taken in addition to the approach from the front and photographs parallel to the ground. Move from near the suspected often produce an interesting effect.

Color
Make a prominent part of the picture's background. Main way to get this subject is to obtain a different color or nadanya drastically with the background.

Framing
When the subject has a special form of a strong, full-frame with the subject. Whether it is using the lens with a focus on longer or move to a subject.

Shooting position
When we feel saturated with the composition of that and only that, try meurbah perspectives fully. For example, the position of sitting or standing position to the shot from the top or bottom of the subject.

Number of subject
Taken with the many subjects that are relatively uniform, no less interesting from the view of the composition. Find one of the subjects' different 'among the many subjects it. Different mean different movement, shape and color.

PURSUIT OF PERFECTION

PURSUIT OF
Perfection For some people pursue perfection sounded like signal or
slogan idealist hogwash. Reason to believe that perfection is God's property
as if justification is made for upgrading the capability to stop
the search for perfection. How much we have made ourselves
uncomfortable with the stop-berleha become careless and sincere fan photos
our own people into the most hated image with which we measure
hatred of the images we each of us with the strength of our movement
full to pursue something better.
In the other groups, there are people who do not consider that perfection
something impossible to be pursued. However, they would assume this is the
perfection. I have already reached perfection caste. I have photos
is perfect. Indeed be, but what is true perfection

Yes, the search is done to perfection sejatinya motivate ourselves to
better. Parents often say we "gantunglah ideals as mu
the sky. "Message is not to force to achieve without bargaining
bid a bit. But more to motivate us to continue to try.
Perfection may be too dynamic so that it can never be achieved. On
This edition of our show Randi Lynn Beach even though that is
into the professional category are still making efforts to achieve
perfection with the subjects of photography heroes.
So also with the so Irawati Sarah firm hold fotografinya idealism.
And Clarissa Jayakumara & Peddy Suryadinata that never
stop learning. Hopefully all of us also did not learn from people
like this.

Camara Filter Tips

Polarizer Filter: in order to avoid the image of reflection that is not in want, use a polarizing filter. play with the filter, the light will be filtered so that maasuk avoid direct reflection and the colors brighter.

UV filter: in the mountains and the sea of UV rays are stronger than in the plains, this raises a picture with fog effects. filter or UV filter Skyline can reduce this effect.

Gradual ND filters: a strong contrast, as in the photo Landscape, can be in a balance with the Gradual ND filter.

Digital Image Stabilisation Edit


Digital image stabilization edit? What this term means? This is a security technology that is used on the Olympus Mju-810. Basic theory is used in the deconvolution.

Deconvolution-filter is a process to record and restore the sharpness mathematically.
for example in digital images, the sharpness of the Matrix Point Spread Function (PSF). This function is the basis of the process. The digital image sharpness can be a fox in the back through the "Deconvolution" provided that the characteristics of the image sharpness is not known.

Can simply say that the conditions in the shooting, positioning, and camera movement or vibration can result in mind and sharp images that can not be sharp again.

Olympus Mju-810 has two "Gyro Sensor" to know and record the movement and position of the camera when pressed SHUTTER release. this information is stored together with the image to improve the image of "blur".

Olympus Mju-810 is suitable for blur-free shooting in bright conditions. weather resistant feature make them a good choice for shooting at the beach or during the rainy season.

Tips For Digital Photographers

Just as your interest level in photography dictates the type of camera you will need, it also defines your storage needs. Whether you’re the family photographer or a professional photojournalist, storing your photos on a laptop or PC is not enough. One computer virus or stolen laptop and your digital library is gone.

To assure your photo collection is organized and safely stored, here are some suggestions:
First, learn how to save pictures from your digital camera to your computer. Most digital photography software will do this for you automatically.
Always keep a backup of your photos on an external hard drive rather than storing them only on your computer.
Organize your hard drive with folders for your photos. When naming the folders, also use the date of when the photos were taken. This will help you sort and find photos more easily.
If your digital life is centered around one computer, choose a reliable hard drive to store your content. A pushbutton external hard drive is a simple way to allow your photo collection to live and grow.
Shared storage devices make it much easier to manage multiple cameras. They also allow you to securely publish your photos over the Internet and share them with selected friends and family.
If you are a serious photographer and take a lot of pictures at full resolution and minimal compression, or if you scan old family photos for digital safekeeping, consider using redundant hard drives or RAID systems. These will allow you to keep your prized vintage photos safe, but still permit instant access for sharing.

Digital Camera

ALL ABOUT CAMERA

Photographers control the camera and lens to "expose" the light recording material such as film to the required amount of light to form (on film) or "raw file" in digital cameras

which, after appropriate processing, is converted to a usable image. Digital cameras replace film with an electronic sensor based on light-sensitive electronics such as charge-coupled device or complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. The resulting digital image is stored electronically, but can be reproduced on paper or film.

The is a type of photographic camera which takes a rapid sequence of photographs on strips of film. In contrast to a still camera, which captures a single snapshot at a time, the movie camera takes a series of images, each called a "frame". This is accomplished through an intermittent mechanism. The frames are later played back in a movie projector at a specific speed, called the "frame rate" (number of frames per second). While viewing, a person's eyes and brain merge the separate pictures together to create the illusion of motion.

In all but certain specialized cameras, the process of obtaining a usable exposure must involve the use, manually or automatically, of a few controls to ensure the photograph is clear, sharp and well illuminated. The controls usually include but are not limited to the following:

*FOCUS - the adjustment to place the sharpest focus where it is desired on the subject
* APERTURE – adjustment of the iris, measured as F- number, which controls the amount of light passing through the lens. Aperture also has an effect on focus and depth of field namely, the smaller the opening aperture, the less light but the greater the depth of field--that is, the greater the range within which objects appear to be sharply focused. The current focal length divided by the f-number gives the actual aperture size in millimeters.
* SHUTTER SPEED – adjustment of the speed (often expressed either as fractions of seconds or as an angle, with mechanical shutters) of the shutter to control the amount of time during which the imaging medium is exposed to light for each exposure. Shutter speed may be used to control the amount of light striking the image plane; 'faster' shutter speeds (that is, those of shorter duration) decrease both the amount of light and the amount of image blurring from motion of the subject and/or camera.
* WHITE BALANCE – on digital cameras, electronic compensation for the color temperature associated with a given set of lighting conditions, ensuring that white light is registered as such on the imaging chip and therefore that the colors in the frame will appear natural. On mechanical, film-based cameras, this function is served by the operator's choice of film stock or with color correction filters. In addition to using white balance to register natural coloration of the image, photographers may employ white balance to aesthetic end, for example white balancing to a blue object in order to obtain a warm color temperature.
* METERING – measurement of exposure so that highlights and shadows are exposed according to the photographer's wishes. Many modern cameras meter and set exposure automatically. Before automatic exposure, correct exposure was accomplished with the use of a separate Light metering device or by the photographer's knowledge and experience of gauging correct settings. To translate the amount of light into a usable aperture and shutter speed, the meter needs to adjust for the sensitivity of the film or sensor to light. This is done by setting the "film speed" or ISO sensitivity into the meter.
* ISO– traditionally used to "tell the camera" the Film speed of the selected film on film cameras, ISO speeds are employed on modern digital cameras as an indication of the system's GAIN from light to numerical output and to control the automatic exposure system. A correct combination of ISO speed, aperture, and shutter speed leads to an image that is neither too dark nor too light.
* Auto Focus point – on some cameras, the selection of a point in the imaging frame upon which the auto-focus system will attempt to focus. Many Single Lens Reflex Camera (SLR) feature multiple auto-focus points in the viewfinder.

Many other elements of the imaging device itself may have a pronounced effect on the quality and or aesthetic effect of a given photograph; among them are:
* Focal length and type of lens ( Telephoto or "long" lens, Macro, Wide angle, Fisheye,
or Zoom )
* Filters placed between the subject and the light recording material, either in front of or behind the lens
* Inherent sensitivity of the medium to light intensity and color/wavelengths.
* The nature of the light recording material, for example its resolution as measured in pixels or grains of Silver halide. .
