How a Digital Camera Works

How a Digital Camera Works.

What kind of battery is compatible with this digital camera?

Question by Diane: What kind of battery is compatible with this digital camera?
My digital camera is a Canon Powershot A530. I use Duracell's batteries for it, but after I take about 20 pictures, it starts to act up and says to change the batteries, and will take maybe one picture, then shut off on its own. I've gathered that maybe the batteries I use are not compatible with my camera, but I don't know which batteries are. If you happen to know which battery works well with this kind of camera, well please answer. :) Thanks.

Answer by stan l
If it only takes "about 20 pictures" on a set of Duracells, you have a bad camera. My Canon A710 takes 200+ pics on a set of Duracell Alkalines. Are you using some dollar store reject imitation Duracells? Digital cameras do NOT like crappy batteries.

Answer by Fhotoace is the real #1
Personally, I chose the Canon Powershot SD950-IS, but I recommend the SD850-IS if someone does not want to spend quite that much money.

SD850-IS

Please look at the new Canon Powershot SD850-IS. This is a very versatile camera that will not get in your way as you travel. It has a nice workable zoom range that will take you from broad scenics to decent telephoto views. Look at some sample images from the reviews on the SD850-IS to get the idea what this lens will cover. It has image stabilization, which really works. It is small enough to fit into a shirt pocket. It has a rechargeable battery that is good for 200-250 shots, depending on how much zooming and viewing you do or on how many shots use the flash. A spare battery is 1¾"x1¼"x¼" and the charger is barely twice that size, so carrying the spare is easy and packing the charger is easy. It has an optical viewfinder which can be useful when the sun is too bright to see the image on your LCD monitor. I could go on, but you can read some reviews and see what the pro's say.

Click on "Read Owner Opinions," which are mini-reviews by buyers. You can also read the full review on the SD700-IS by clicking on that option.

The upgrades for the SD850-IS are:
Canon Digic III image processor instead of Digic II
8 MP instead of 6 MP
Maximum ISO 1600 instead of ISO 800
Accepts up to 4 GB memory card instead of 2 GB
LCD monitor has better image
Face detection

I listed these in the order of importance, in my opinion. The first two are the ones that really count the most and the rest are just gravy.

If you want to see some SD950 photos, go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/tags/sd950is From there, you can also choose to "See all public photos tagged with SD950is" if you want. Some of these are not so much beautiful photos as they are to illustrate a point for answers, but you can still look at the image to evaluate the quality. If they have been altered, I will mention that in the description.

Why do I need to format a new memory card for a digital camera before using it?

Question by tiggirl19: Why do I need to format a new memory card for a digital camera before using it?
We've have just bought a new digital camera and immediately started taking pictures, then read that the memory card should be formatted before using. What now?


Best answer:

Answer by Terisu
I've done the same thing, and usually it's no problem. Every now and then, the pictures will mysteriously disappear though. Buy an inexpensive card reader and see what's on the card. If you have images there, just transfer them over to your hard drive. Formatting is an easy way to erase old pictures that you've already transferred, but I've gotten by many times by just deleting the pictures using my computer.

How do you broadcast on the internet using a digital camera?

Question by 19 year old girl: How do you broadcast on the internet using a digital camera?
I have a Canon digital camera. I have the USB chord and another wire that has a black and yellow outputs on the end of the chord, opposite of where it goes into the camera. These are the only 2 wires my camera came with. How can I start broadcasting. I need step by step instructions.
(Do I need to download any programs?)


Best answer:

Answer by water_skipper
Maybe you can't. A digital camera is normally made for shooting still images or taking videos that are saved as files. Most of them are not capable of live video. Get a USB web cameras instead. By the way, who are you trying to "broadcast" to? You probably want a instant message program that supports video chat.
