siMple. coMpact. versatile.Not sure what type of camera will help you explore your creativity to the fullest? Hybrid compact system cameras (CSCs) offer a unique blend of features—the compact, lightweight design of a point-and-shoot plus a similar level of image quality to a D-SLR. CSCs have plenty of automatic settings for fool-proof pics, but most also let you switch to a manual mode for additional control. Or experiment with high-definition video worthy of your big screen TV.
Smaller. yet powerful.CSCs give you similar image quality to a D-SLR camera without the larger size. They have smaller, more compact camera bodies, but they’re not lightweights. Zoom in or pan wide with interchangeable lenses designed for your CSC, or use it like a point-and-shoot. The possibilities are endless.

how does a digital single lens reflex (d-Slr) system compare to a compact system camera (cSc)?With a digital single lens reflex system, what you see through the viewfinder is exactly what will be captured—the focus, depth of field and layout of your shot. When the shutter is released, the mirror moves and the light connects with the digital imaging sensor.
Compact system cameras remove the reflex lens so the image directly hits the sensor, allowing for a smaller camera body, yet they use high-quality sensors similar to those in D-SLRs. To learn more visit BestBuy.com/CSC.
CSCs also offer:
▶ Flexibility ▶ SLR capabilities
▶ Highly focused zoom ▶ High quality video
▶ Quiet operation ▶ Compact design

ready for a close-up—telephoto lensWant to emphasize your subject? Use a telephoto lens for the perfect close-up view. This kind of photograph of an object, person or animal gives us perspective and details that we can’t appreciate from far away. With a telephoto lens, you can bring distant objects closer and make them appear larger, getting optically near to your subject, even when you can’t get physically close. It’s very similar to the result you get with a telescope or binoculars.

BlUrriNg WaterA favorite effect for waterfalls, streams and shorelines, the ethereal look of blurred water motion can add a softness that makes a nice contrast to sharper elements in the frame. You can achieve this effect by slowing the shutter speed—just use a tripod and a neutral-density filter and you’ll have this amazing look.
ChooSe FaSt leNSeSCapture the action with crisp images by stepping up to a D-SLR with interchangeable fast lenses. A lower aperture lens allows you to capture faster movements. Focusing on your subject also allows the background and foreground to show speed—a professional technique used for both fast subjects and fine art photography. Visit BestBuy.com/lenses for a full assortment.
ChaNge yoUr White BalaNCeCameras set on Auto White Balance try to get the color of a scene right by balancing it automatically. If you’re indoors under fluorescent or incandescent lighting, adjust your camera’s white balance setting, choosing from options such as fluorescent or candlelight.
USe more thaN oNe leNSThe lenses that come with most D-SLRs have a short focal length that won’t cover all shooting conditions. For a variety of shots, you’ll need more than one lens. A macro lens helps you get good close-ups of small subjects, while a long focal length zooms to bring distant objects close, like sports action or wildlife. An ultra-wide lens lets you fill the frame in a confined space or get the whole group at the family reunion. The best bet? Upgrade your kit lens to a broader focal range lens that covers most of your shooting needs, such as the 18-200mm.
aFter the Shot: editiNg yoUr photoSThere are a variety of affordable software options available to enhance your photos once they have been transferred to your computer. Programs from Adobe and Corel can help crop your photos for a wide range of print sizes, add creative effects such as sepia tone, convert your images to black and white, as well as aid you with professional-level corrections such as contrast, saturation, color balance and application of filters. The options are practically endless and give you a chance to explore the versatility of digital photography.

Knowing when to use fill-in flash can save a picture from being underexposed in the foreground, but correctly exposed in the background.

the exposure triangle: aperture, shutter speed and ISoaperture (f-stop) is the size of the opening in the lens that allows light to come through to the camera’s sensor. The larger the hole, the more light that gets in— the smaller the hole, the less light. Aperture is measured in f-stops, typically ranging from f/1.4 to f/32; the smaller the f-stop, the larger the lens opening.
Small f-stop (f/4) = large aperture = small depth of field large f-stop (f/32) = small aperture = large depth of field
Shutter Speed The length of time the shutter is open; affects the amount of light that reaches the sensor.
iSo A setting that measures the sensitivity to light. Lower ISO settings mean you need more light and vice versa.

our feature presentation? the right solution for you. Try before you buy. It’s great advice when it comes to cameras and camcorders. After all, you want your camera to feel good in your hands: comfortable, intuitive and ready to go. That’s why we have a full range of digital cameras, D-SLRs and camcorders in store for you to test out. Come in, ask questions and get the one that’s right for you.
cameras or camcorders?Digital cameras and D-SLRs have made a successful leap into video. With the ability to record quality video, you might wonder if you even need a camcorder.
Most digital cameras offer 720p video recording, and very few feature the 1080p available from even lower-end camcorders. Along with 720p vs. 1080p , there are other factors to consider when choosing the way you want to capture video:
leNSeS
Both camcorders and digital cameras usually offer optical zoom and digital zoom capabilities. Optical zoom is an actual zoom—where the lens moves to magnify the image. While digital cameras and D-SLRs kit lenses offer an average of 3X optical zoom, camcorders feature 10X–70X optical zoom.
aUdio
Camcorders are built for video, and their internal microphones are far superior to those in digital cameras. Along with quality, camcorders often feature audio options and multi-channel, surround-sound recording.
media & memory
Digital camcorders, like digital cameras, can record to memory cards. But they can also use an internal hard drive that offers much more recording time than even your highest capacity flash memory card.
USaBility
Camcorders are designed to be held steady for long periods of time, and their LCD displays can be angled for more versatility.
Digital cameras take great video—along with beautiful still shots. They’re far more compact, but they’re no match for the quality you’ll get from a dedicated video camcorder.
poiNt-aNd-Shoot
Compact and easy to carry, point-and-shoot cameras are a good solution if you want to capture images on the go.
CompaCt SyStem Camera
A step up from point-and-shoots, compact system cameras offer improved video resolution up to 1080p HD. Great for times when you want high-quality images and need a camera that’s not heavy or bulky.
d-Slr
Serious about photography and hoping to take stunning still photos? D-SLRs provide the greatest clarity and largest number of options for creating the photos you desire. D-SLRs also offer 1080p and many lens options.
Shoot-aNd-Share CamCorder
Looking for a way to upload or send videos quickly? Shoot-and-share camcorders are easy to use, designed with sharing in mind and compact enough to take anywhere.
CamCorder
To capture all your special moments in high-quality video, a digital camcorder is a must-have. Digital camcorders provide the sharpest video, optical zoom ranging from 10X to 70X and the highest quality audio. Plus, their internal memory storage (up to 160GB) gives you plenty of recording time so you won’t miss a thing.

digital iMaging, defined
auto Focus: A feature that allows you to obtain clear focus on a subject, instead of requiring manual adjustment, so you can get the best picture without any blurring.
Burst mode: Also referred to as continuous shooting, burst mode captures multiple shots in rapid succession with a single click of the shutter.
CCd or CmoS Sensor: A sensor is the heart of a digital camera that records an image when you take a picture or capture video. The size of a sensor has a strong influence on its ability to detect and record light accurately. Larger sensors like those found in D-SLRs allow you to capture better images in low light and more color detail overall.
Compact System Cameras: Compact System Cameras have much larger sensors than point-and-shoot digital cameras, which give you more control over focus, better low-light shooting capability and less visible noise. They’re also easier to use, with plain language menu options and one-touch controls.
digital zoom: This is not true zoom as it is merely simulated by enlarging the existing image’s pixels by cropping. The actual length of the lens does not change. Digital zooming does result in reduced image quality and should generally be avoided or turned off on your camera altogether.
eye-Fi: A memory card that lets you send your favorite shots to your computer or social network site effortlessly using WiFi, with no cables or hassles.
Face detection: Face detection tracks faces within the frame and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures.
Frames per Second (or Frame rate): A frame is equivalent to a single photograph, so the frames per second is the number of photos that can be captured by the camera in one second of time. The higher the number, the more photos you can capture in one second.
gigabyte (gB): A measure of memory capacity. The higher the GB, the more the storage.
iSo: Measures the sensitivity to light. Higher ISO settings allow for better low-light photos. Lower ISO settings are great for outdoor situations.
lCd display: Full-color display found on a digital camera or camcorder that lets you view and review your digital pictures and videos when they are taken.
megapixel: The more pixels that exist in an image the higher the resolution and therefore the greater the quality of the image. The number of megapixels is only one aspect relating to the quality of a camera, or the actual quality of a photo it is capable of producing. Factors such as camera sensor and the optical quality of a lens play equally important roles.
optical image Stabilization: Optical image stabilization minimizes blurring caused by camera shake or subject movement.
optical zoom: This is your lens’ true zoom capability. The lens does the work by reducing or enlarging the field of view. The greater the optical zoom, the closer you can get to the subject you are shooting.
Scene modes: Pre-programmed settings on your camera that help automatically achieve the best photo given the current shooting conditions. Some examples include portrait, landscape, sports, night and many more found on most digital cameras today.
Smile detection: The camera will lock onto the subject’s face and automatically trigger image capture when a smile is detected.
