Talk:List of digital camera modes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Comments on my reasons for creating this article.
First, I've inadvertently named it List of digital camera formats; I'm hoping (and request) that somebody will rename it List of digital camera modes, as this is something I've not done in Wikipedia.
Digital camera modes are often not documented in detail in manuals, so you don't know exactly what's happening with shutter, focussing, etc. As far as I know there's no comprehensive resource that gives this information. I'm hoping that this list will become an increasingly comprehensive list of detailed camera information. Entries something like (examples obviously made up!):
Portrait mode:
- Generally uses widest aperture possible for the light conditions, 100ASA sensitivity, often recognises and autofocusses on a face if less than 4m from camera, white balance daylight, will not use fill-in flash under bright conditions.
- Nikon 10000E to 12123F use f/2.8, spot exposure metering
- 10000AE additionally dangles a toy bird above camera to get babies to smile
- Canon ABC1 uses center-weighted metering
- Nikon 10000E to 12123F use f/2.8, spot exposure metering
