ALPA Brauche 1 An der Spitze sind die Dinge einfach „... Ich bin begeistert von dieser Kamera und lasse sie nie aus den Augen. Endlich habe ich die Kamera für mich gefunden. Alle anderen verblassen...“ „... Man kann die Bedeutung von Qualität gar nicht überschätzen. Ich dachte ursprünglich, dass ich keine ALPA brauche. Da lag ich falsch...“ „... Das Gefühl, das diese Kamera vermittelt, ist jemandem, der sie noch nicht in der Hand gehabt hat, kaum zu beschreiben. Alles an ihr ist so gut gemacht, wie dies überhaupt nur irgend möglich ist, aber da ist noch mehr; da ist etwas nahezu Magisches...“ eit eh und je ist ALPA eine der welt- bestätigt sich das Konzept der ALPA- ausschliesslich ab Stativ fotografiert wird, weit ersten Adressen für Perfektionis- Plattform auf das Deutlichste: Kompro- da ergänzt die ALPA 12 XY dieses tenS der Fototechnik.

Standard: JPEG image Image size affects the number of pixels in each image. The greater the image size, the larger the file size. Choose image size based on the final use of the image - smaller images are more suitable for web sites whereas larger sizes produce higher quality prints. Image quality controls the file type and rate of compression. RAW is high-quality image file. The extra fine, fine, and standard settings produce JPEG files at various rates of compression. The higher the image quality, the lower the rate of compression and the larger the file sizes. If economical use of the memory card is important, use the standard mode. The RAW & JPEG option creates two image files at one time, a large RAW file and a fine quality JPEG file with an image size selected with the menu. The image files are saved with the same file name, but with different extensions (p. 126). In the RAW image-quality mode, the image size is set to large and cannot be changed. The image size is not be displayed on the monitors. The enlarged playback and print functions cannot be used. Unlike the other image-quality modes, RAW image data is unprocessed and requires image processing before it can be used.

  • Working with Your Camera
    Working with your Camera Topic 2 – Introduction To Lenses Learning Outcomes By the end of this topic you will have a basic understanding of what lenses you need for specific types of shot. You will also be able to distinguish between prime lens and zoom lenses and have a better understanding of the language used in conversations between photographers when discussing lenses. Components of a lens The structure of a lens. Lens Mount – This is the area of the lens that we attach to the camera body. It is a hugely sensitive area and when you dismount a lens from a body, always ensures that you cover this with a lens cap. Page | 1 Working with your Camera Zoom Ring – This applies to lenses that have a ranging focal length. The zoom ring adjusts the focal length of the lens, allowing you to move closer or further away from your subject. Distance Scale – The distance scale is simply an accurate reading of what your zoom ring is doing. It will tell you what focal length you are at if you are unsure. Autofocus/ Manual Focus Switch – This is simply a switch which allows you to shoot your subject using autofocus or it gives you the opportunity to manually control focus yourself. Manual Focusing Ring – This ring will help you to adjust the focus of your subject, but only if you are using the manual focus mode. On a zoom lens, this ring will adjust the focus at whatever focal length you are zoomed into. Bayonet For Lens Hood – This is simply the opposite to the lens cap.

This text, instructor guides, PowerPoint presentations and examinations have (and continue to be) tested at the CAP National Emergency Services Academy Mission Aircrew School (NESA MAS). The importance of safety is emphasized throughout the text. Lessons stressed in this text will enable aircrew members to operate in a safe and efficient manner, thus reducing accidents and incidents. Airborne Photographer The Airborne Photographer (AP) serves as a member of a Civil Air Patrol (CAP) flight crew and is tasked with taking airborne photographs and/or video of specified targets in such a way that completely meet or exceed our customer’s objectives and needs. SAR/DR Mission Pilot In addition to the normal duties and responsibilities of a SAR/DR Mission Pilot (MP), the MP plans and flies aerial photo or video sorties. The MP works closely with the Airborne Photographer to ensure the success of each imaging sortie. NOTE: Mission Pilots who don’t wish to qualify as an Airborne Photographer are encouraged to fly some sorties as an AP trainee to better appreciate the needs of the AP and improve communications between the crewmembers. Third Crewmember A third crewmember is preferred to act as a log keeper and assist the crew in other related tasks.
