Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1, Not a DSLR Camera

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 has a qualification for a non-DSLR camera, although actually is not in the category DSLR camera (Digital Single Lens Reflex). The body shape and some features that are also not too far from the cameras are identical with these professional photographers.

There is one clear difference between the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 with DSLR camera. If DSLR camera usually uses mirrors to reflect images that captured the lens toward the sensor, the Lumix DMC-GH1 was precisely chosen to use a working system compact camera sensor placed just behind the lens, so do not need a mirror anymore. The advantage is clear that body size can be reduced. Read the rest of this entry »

Finding a Suitable Canon Camera Lenses

Various kinds of DSLR camera lens on the market is very diverse, it is certainly very confusing beginners who want to upgrade the kit lens DSLR camera default. Each lens digital SLR camera has the features and functions of a different one another. This is usually indicated by use of the notation on each lens. Unfortunately, different lens of different brand has its own notation. The following is my attempt to provide understanding how to read the notations on Camera Lens DSLR on the market.

Kinds of Canon camera lenses

First type of Canon camera lenses are Canon EF lenses can be used on all Canon EOS digital SLR cameras. EF stands for Electro Focus, which has auto focus motor-driven by an electro motor integrated in the lens body. All contacts between the lens and camera body are controlled electrically, there is absolutely no mechanical contact between the lens and camera body

Second type of Canon camera lenses are USM – Ultrasonic Motor Drive – EF lenses equipped with USM drives, will provide a faster autofocus performance, accurate and quiet, and consumes less power than the one using the motor drive AF. There are two types of USM, the ring-type USM and the micromotor USM. Ring-type USM is always preferred because of superior performance and efficiency, and providing full-time manual focus operation without switching from the AF mode.

IS – Image Stabilizer – Functioning to minimizing or even eliminate image blur due to camera shake with the help of accelerometer

Third type of Canon camera lenses are L Series Lenses – the highest caste and the most expensive of the line Canon camera lens has superior optical performance. Made in solid construction make it has a high reliability even if used intensively, in a long time and under any circumstances. This lens can be identified with a red circle around the front of the front lens.

EF-S – Mounting this lens is a derivative of the EF lens mount created for Canon DSLR cameras with APS-C sized image sensors.

Canon SLR Camera for Beginner: Canon EOS 1000D Digital SLR

After so long awaited by the fans as well as Canon SLR camera for digital photography in general, finally launched the Canon EOS 1000D Canon Digital SLR or Digital Rebel XS. Have been waited for so long, because, Canon does not have a digital SLR camera line for beginner class at the price range below 600 dollar before it. Along with it, Canon Speedlite 430EX also presents II, an upgrade from previous version.

Basic Aspect of Photography: Aperture

Another element which is not less important in photography is to aperture. Aperture is the size of the aperture that functions to enter and continue the light onto the film or sensor, size regulated through the diaphragm. In general the camera contained 2.8; 4; 5.6 ff. this number is known as the f-number, so called aperture f / 2.8, f / 4, f / 5.6 ff. The bigger the aperture the smaller the f-number and the lesser diameter of opening, so it is smaller in diameter than f/16 f / 5.6

It works like a pupil aperture on the human eye, the more light coming in, the smaller the diameter of the pupil, and vice versa. Aperture is associated with a sharp space or depth of field, the greater the f-number, e.g. f/22, sharpness will increasingly wide range. This means that objects behind and in front of the main focus has good sharpness, otherwise we will get blur effect / blur to object in front and behind the main focus when using a small f-number, e.g. f / 2.8

Shutter speed and aperture should be synergized to get proper exposure. ISO is also an important role, the higher the ISO is used, the sensitivity to light any bigger, so that at any dim lighting, shutter speed and aperture can still be used optimally. But keep in mind, the higher the ISO is used, the higher the level of noise or grain produced

To determine whether the exposure was correct or not, in conventional or digital cameras metering facilities available. So that the occurrence of over-exposure (excess lighting), or under exposures (lack of lighting) can be minimized.

Once the basic technique can be mastered, the next is the flying hours required, because art is identical with the moment of photography, fine day and the moment was not easily repeated, skill determines the composition and angle of image capture can be developed as flying hours, and then enrich the references, books, internet, as well as other sumber2. How good and sophisticated a camera, just a tool, clincher is that those who were behind the camera.
