  • Using Digital Still Cameras
    Step-by-Step Using Digital Still Cameras GENERIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIGITAL CAMERAS Every make and model of digital camera has a distinctive way of taking pictures, storing them, and transferring those pictures to your computer. Here are a few of the most common instructions for digital cameras other than the Sony Mavica. 1. Most digital cameras use a type of removable media to store the pictures. For example, some Sony models use the memory stick, and other companies use Smart Media Cards and another common media is the MultiMedia Card. 2. Most digital cameras have an interface to connect the camera directly up with your computer either via Serial Bus, or USB (Universal Serial Bus). 3. If the camera does not have an interface to connect to the computer , or it has an interface that is not compatible and has removable media then you must have a reader to access your pictures. 4. Depending on the manufacturer of the digital camera, there are many programs that allow you to view your pictures and/or download them to your computer. You should read the manual that comes with the digital camera. Megapixel / Resolution / Size When using a digital camera, you will need to decide what quality picture you want. Most cameras allow you to change the resolution of the picture to a lower quality so that you can store more pictures on the camera media. Likewise you can increase the resolution for a better quality picture, but fewer photos can be stored. Megapixel: The term megapixel means 1,000,000+ pixels.

  • An Analytical Study on the Modern History of Digital Photography Keywords
    203 Amr Galal An analytical study on the modern history of digital photography Dr. Amr Mohamed Galal Lecturer in Faculty of mass Communication, MISR International University (MIU) Abstract: Keywords: Since its emergence more than thirty years ago, digital photography has undergone Digital Photography rapid transformations and developments. Digital technology has produced Image Sensor (CCD-CMOS) generations of personal computers, which turned all forms of technology into a digital one. Photography received a large share in this development in the making Image Storage (Digital of cameras, sensitive surfaces, image storage, image transfer, and image quality and Memory) clarity. This technology also allowed the photographer to record all his visuals with Playback System a high efficiency that keeps abreast of the age’s requirements and methods of communication. The final form of digital technology was not reached all of a Bayer Color Filter sudden; this development – in spite of its fast pace – has been subject to many LCD display pillars, all of which have contributed to reaching the modern traditional digital Digital Viewfinder. shape of the camera and granted the photographer capabilities he can use to produce images that fulfill their task. Reaching this end before digital technology was quite difficult and required several procedures to process sensitive film and paper material and many chemical processes. Nowadays, this process is done by pushing a few buttons. This research sheds light on these main foundations for the stages of digital development according to their chronological order, along with presenting scientists or production companies that have their own research laboratories which develop and enhance their products.

  • A Study of Complexity, Innovation and Variety; the Photographic Camera Example
    Manchester Metropolitan University A STUDY OF COMPLEXITY, INNOVATION AND VARIETY; THE PHOTOGRAPHIC CAMERA EXAMPLE A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Cecilia Diaz 5/27/2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisors Gill Wright, Despoina Filiou and Alberto Paucar- Caceres for their support and guidance that helped me to stay focused in moments of difficulty. I would also like to thank Ann Marie McDonalds for all her help, not only in an academic role but also simply for believing in me and helping through the completion of the thesis. In general, I am grateful to all the people who in one way or another have contributed to this thesis. I would like to dedicate this work to my parents. ii | P a g e ABSTRACT This thesis is an exploratory research concerned with the investigation and identification of complex systems and their innovation life patterns. There is evidence in the literature to suggest the existence of complex systems, which differentiate themselves not only by organisational structure, but also by the way, they innovate. Complex systems seem to display a nested hierarchical formation of technological elements and the clustering of those technological elements in a synergistic manner in order to offer an enhanced service. Another distinct element of complex systems is the dependency that some particular elements in the hierarchy seem to display. This dependency of the elements in the nested hierarchy means that changes (innovation) made in one of the elements of the hierarchy might result in changes in other elements or the whole hierarchy.

Idaho State Board of Education Technology Incentive Grant and ISU funding were used to equip the facility. Services such as the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), Educational Technology Services (ETS), and the Information Technology Services (ITS) provide the foundational support for the ITRC. The primary goal of the ITRC is to provide faculty with access, ability, and confidence to use multimedia tools and new technologies in both traditional classroom and distance-learning environments. Facility The ITRC is comprised of drop-in, production/multimedia, and training labs. The latest in computer technology resources provide faculty with advanced teaching tools designed to fit with the instructional goals of their course and learner’s needs. Many of the ITRC supported services provide faculty with instructional technology tools for both traditional classroom and distance- learning environments. The ITRC has two physical areas for computer training and support. One-on-one help is done in the ITRC drop-in and production lab area, while a dedicated lab is used for group instruction. Drop-in Lab and Production Lab The computers in this area consist primarily of three DePl Vostro 420 Core 2 Quad Q9400 (2.66GHz) Vista, four Dell Optiplex 360 Core 2 Duo E7500 (2.93GHz) Vista, two Dell Optiplex 745 Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4GHr) XP, one Dell Optiplax 755 Core 2 Duo E6550 (2.33GHz) XP, one Dell Optiplex GX620 XP, one Dell Optiplex GX270 XP and one Apple iMac.

Peter Zelten Submitted to the System Design and Management Program January 2002 in Partial Fulfillment of Requirements for the Degree of Masters of Science in Engineering and Management Abstract Companies heavily and successfully invested in traditional technologies (defenders) often find it difficult to make the transitions to new disruptive technologies, in spite of technological competence and clear opportunity to do so. The core competencies that enabled the firm to excel under the old paradigms become core rigidities when faced with the need to address technological discontinuities.
