Digital photography is incredibly popular and there are a lot of reasons for that. Firstly there is the beauty of instant gratification, and then there are things like the near limitless photos a person can take and the way cameras are starting to become integrated into everything we own, much like clocks. As popular as it’s getting though, there are a lot of things digital photography allows us to do that people aren’t aware of yet.
It’s strange to think, but people are willing to spend a lot of money on cameras but consider nothing but the size, the zoom and the megapixels. What people don’t look into are those finer details and the result is a lot of camera owners not knowing just what their cameras are capable of. Take a look at some of the coolest things you can do with digital photography from within a lot of actual cameras.
Red eye removal
The first introduction of in camera red-eye removal involved a cool face recognition process that consumers had to initiate after the fact. Taking things further, a lot of cameras come with a standard feature that removes red-eye while the image is being processed, before it even appears on the screen.
Auto focus face recognition
If you’re point and shoot digital camera doesn’t do this then make sure your next camera does. This is a great perk to digital photography in which the camera will automatically detect where the faces are in the picture and then focus on that spot. The higher end cameras will even be able to analyze a crowd of dozens of people and pick the best focus for the picture.
Touch focus
The iPhone made this popular but expect to see it in more places soon. This is where the digital display is touch sensitive and will actually focus on the point in the picture that your finger touches upon. What’s simpler than that?
Geo-tagging
There is some pretty cool software out there that will learn what your friends’ faces look like and will sort photos accordingly. If that’s not enough, there are cameras that contain GPS devices so each photo can be geo-tagged for later sorting. Anyone who spends hours organizing their pictures into groups will easily fall in love with this.
Wi-fi flashcards
Wi-Fi is all the rage. There have been some camera models that came out with Wi-fi connectivity but now the technology is being built right into secure digital cards. This means that when you enter your home Wi-Fi network, your computer can automatically retrieve pictures from your camera. Why? Because plugging in USB cables takes too long!
Survive anything
This isn’t directly a product of digital photography but it’s surely the result of its popularity. Building strong cameras isn’t a new capability but because people have started buying cameras in such great numbers and replacing them with such frequency, manufacturers have been able to successfully market highly durable digital cameras affordably. So if you don’t have a camera that can survive a five foot fall or work 10 metres under water, then you haven’t delved deep enough into digital photography.
