What kind of camera takes x-amt of continuous shots, like to catch something in motion?

I know you can just change shutter speeds, but there is a pretty inexpensive camera with multiple lenses on the front that takes i'm not sure how many pictures at once. Like you would take a picture of a moving thing and each frame would be the next motion. pleaseee help me
What kind of camera takes x-amt of continuous shots, like to catch something in motion?
What you're talking about is FPS (frames per second) and my Sony Alpha takes 3 frames per second (no flash because the flash recharge time takes longer), and there are faster...I think the Canon Eos was rated #1 by Consumer Reports this year, making it a best buy...my Sony is around $500 just for the body...and I think I paid around $300 for the flash...and another $200 for a longer lens. Good luck!

Nikon and Canon DSLR's can do that. Some models will shoot faster than others.



Look at this link:

You will see in these cameras the continuous shooting rate varies.
fhotoace is correct, but that continuous mode isn't limited to those models. I would predict that most all DSLR cameras do that. They're relatively expensive. If you are looking for a more inexpensive camera, you might want to look into SLR-like cameras. I have a Panasonic FZ8 and it has a continuous burst mode. It takes 3 photos in about a second as long as you keep the button pressed. I'd say most of the SLR-like cameras have that mode. Pretty nifty for sports events, just make sure you have enough room on your storage card.

Math/Photography: How does changing the shutter speed affect the output value?

A scenario:



Two photographs are taken using a digital camera. One photograph is taken with a shutter speed of 1/30, the other with a shutter speed of 1/60. The images are output as 8 bits per channel, RGB files. If the value in channel C, at co-ordinates X,Y of the first photograph is 128, what should the value be in C,X,Y of the second photograph and why?



Simple logic suggests that, assuming the response curve of the camera is linear, the second value should be half that of the first, since the amount of light hitting the sensor is halved, but this appears not to be the case. Instead, the value in C,X,Y of the first photograph appears to be approximately equal to the value in C,X,Y of the second photograph, multiplied by the square root of two. Why?

How to take decent pictures?

I am learning to take pics and recently I was taking pictures of moving water. I've seen a lot of pictures that look so good with running water. I want to know how to take pictures like that. I know you have to change shutter speed, and all the rest of that. But could someone give me details on when to change what in situations like these? I use a Kodak EasyShare CX7530. Thanks!
How to take decent pictures?
Practice, practice, and more practice. Often we see the results but we don't see the effort that went behind the picture.Some photographers shoot for years and acquire experience and they know what composition and lighting to look for. Also for every great pictures, there are many that the photographer discards. With digital cameras you are able to freely experiment and get instant feedback.



If you are taking pictures of moving water, I would recommend you get a good sturdy tripod. I believe the tripod is the single most underrated accessory that most consumers don't bother to buy to improve their photography.



Play around with the shutter speed first of all. This makes a big difference on how the water will look like in the final picture. Having too fast shutter speed will make the water appear lifeless and static. Having too slow a shutter speed and the water will appear over exposed and a white blob, with very little detail. The right shutter speed will bring out the detail in the water and still be able to portray the motion and fluidity of the water.



Different lighting conditions also play a factor. Don't photograph directly in bright sunlight. Try to shoot water in diffuse lighting and preferably dimmer light like in the late afternoon. You will need to set your camera on a tripod, and possibly use a remote control or use the camera timer to avoid camera shake.



That's all I can think of at the moment. Good luck.

You'll need to play around with shutter speed and ISO settings to get the best pics for these kinds of things.



TechLore has a great article that should tell you what you need to know called %26quot;Using Your Camera's ISO Setting to Get the Shot%26quot;. http://www.techlore.com/article/17308/Us鈥?/a>
if you have a night time setting on your camera you will get great moving shots as the flash goes off about 3 times before the pic is taken email me if u want to see some ocean pics i took using it.
I agree with the previous posters. Two other things:

1. Experiment with photographing from different angles, since this will determine if you see through the water or a reflection on the water.

2. Like any photography, experiment both with and without a flash.
Experiment, diffirent speeds work better for diffirent situatuions!
don't know how to set your camera,

but, if u want to snap running watter here's a simpler theory



a fast shutter speed will freeze the water.(provided with enuff lighting for tht fast shutter)



a slow shutter speed will blur the water.
What effect are you trying to achieve? I'm going to guess and say you want the water to look like smoke,or kinda hazy.You need to put your shutter speed down to about 1 sec. You will achieve some good results at 1/8 ,1/15 or so too. To get your shutter speed down to this in the daytime you will probably need to use a neutral density filter.Can you change the shutter speed on your camera....let me look...........hey yeah you can, I didn't think you could when I first saw it but yeah you can bring it down all the way to 4 secs....ok ok put your camera on a tripod,because you wont be able to hold a 1 sec exposure.put your camera on a low ISO,like 80 or 100,frame you water subject, and hold the neutral density filter over the lens...careful not to touch the camera and shake it...I don't think filters will thread into your cam.....put camera on auto and shoot one just for the hell of it ...then put you shutter down to 1 sec. and try another...keep playing around with the shutter settings until you get the results you want....Good luck

ISO and Shutter Speed, with a DSC-H10?

I did read the manual included with the camara... Still, i cannot figure out how to ADJUST the shutter speed, or ISO ... i want to change the speed of the shutter to take better action pics, and the standar mode just doesnt cut it...

if it's not in the manual call the company
ISO and Shutter Speed, with a DSC-H10?
Well I dont own one, but there is a good chance that you can adjust shutter speed. Most point and shoots dont allow that. Most point and shoots do allow some adjustment of ISO usually you have to put into some sort of manual mode.

How to use the Canon Rebel K2?

Ok i need a total dunny's guide because i cannot understand anything that is being said in the manual.



((I plan on using the camera in its manual mode, not automatic))



What do the letters on the dial (P, Tv, Av, M) stand for?



How do i turn flash on and off?



How do i change shutter speed and aperture?



Where is the light meter?



Any other extra info will be GREATLY appreciated!



Thank you all in advance!

What do the letters on the dial (P, Tv, Av, M) stand for?

P stands for Program (the camera does all the thinking. It's like Auto, only you can make adjustments to the auto programming.)



Tv stands for %26quot;Time Value%26quot; which is a fancy way of saying %26quot;shutter speed preferred.%26quot; You set the shutter speed and the camera will choose the (hopefully) right aperture or lens opening.



Av stands for %26quot;Aperture Value%26quot; which means aperture preferred. You set the aperture and the camera will set the shutter speed.



M stands for Manual; you set both the aperture and shutter speed yourself.



How do i turn flash on and off?

--generally, the camera may automatically pop the flash up when it thinks it's needed. Otherwise, cameras either have a button next to the prism to pop the flash up, or you just raise the flash up by hand.



How do i change shutter speed and aperture?

--There should be a little wheel on the camera to do this. It'll look like a knurled wheel, usually behind the shutter release on Canon cameras.



Where is the light meter?

--It's inside the camera. Turn the camera on and look through the viewfinder. As you move from light to dark, the display should change (you may have to partially depress the shutter release to activate the meter); that's the light meter.

Come on now, don't be lazy. Read your manual slowly and learning it with your camera will help a lot. I got my first photography lesson by myself this way - I read one section of the manual, try it, and when I succeeded, I move on to another section of the manual.



P stands for program - its similar to Automatic but you can adjust it for compensation.



Tv is Shutter speed priority. If you move the command dial, your camera will change its shutter speed settings accordingly.



Av is Aperture priority. If you move the command dial, your camera will change aperture value (f stop)



M for manual. if you move the command dial, your camera will change its shutter speed setting, and if you push the AE button while moving the command dial, you'll change the aperture value.



You turn flash on and off with the little button on the top left side of the camera. It should be near the viewfinder. To turn it off you can easily pop it back in.



Shutter speed and aperture... read above.



Light meter is in the camera. You can read the reading in the status LCD or in the viewvinder



Any other extra will be in the manual and you will GREATLY appreciate what's in the manual.
%26quot;P%26quot; is for Program Mode



%26quot;Av%26quot; is for Aperture Preferred Mode (you set the aperture aka f-stop and the camera sets the shutter speed)



%26quot;Tv%26quot; is for Shutter Preferred Mode (you set the shutter speed, the camera selects an f-stop)



%26quot;M%26quot; is Manual Mode - you set aperture and shutter speed



The light meter is built into the camera and measures the light coming through the lens



I suggest you attend a photography class if one is available where you live. If not, do a web search for Canon User Groups.



You might also want to search ebay or amazon.com for the Magic Lantern Guide for your camera. Such after-market Guides are usually well-illustrated and much easier to follow (in most cases) than the original Owner's Manual.

    Like thisss picture:

    Do you have to change shutter speed or the aperture or something?
    How do you take a fast motion picture like this?
    That is a long exposure shot. You have to use a long shutter speed like 5 or more seconds. But you have to use a small aperture size to avoid over exposing the film if you're shooting in daylight. If you have a digital camera, it will help you set the aperture correctly.



    Long exposures are really fun at night. Here's some I did this summer on vacation. The shutter speed was 15 seconds and the aperture was f/8 on most of them.

    Also, you need a good and rigid tripod because any movement of the camera will blur the image - unless of course you WANT the camera to move, which I have done before too. Try that while shooting Christmas lights.
    How do you take a fast motion picture like this?
    The shutter speed has to be really long. In this case, i would say it was at least 5 seconds.
    It all has to do with the shutter speed on manuel mode.
    Using %26quot;B mode%26quot; shutter speed and hold for about 30 seconds or 45 seconds,very easy lah..

    Samsung s860 digital camera, any good features i can use to take good photos?

    hi,

    does this camera have any features, unlike usual cameras that i can take good pictures with. i think that it is a good camera however i want to take very good photos, i know how to change shutter speed, however ive always wondered how they make the sky dark at the top and light at the bottem.

    thanks
    Samsung s860 digital camera, any good features i can use to take good photos?
    This camera isn't going to take really nice pictures. If you want to take excellent pictures then you might want to think about investing in a little more money. Consumer Reports doesn't recommend the camera you're looking at but they do recommend the Samsung SL310 14MP. In fact, they rate this camera with the BEST image quality for a point and shoot camera. I actually just ordered that camera for myself and it's only costing me about $180. Also if you'd like to be able to control your pictures like that then I would recommend an Nikon D40 which is a 6MP great image quality entry level DSLR for over $400. Good Luck
