Customer Reviews

Great picture at a great price2000-10-21
When I purchased this product I was looking primarily at Sonys, but the salesman suggested if I wasn't interested in digital at this time to give the Hitachi a look. I did. For the price the quality can't be beat. The picture is crystal clear and the zoom capabilties are incredible. This is a great camera to record the family outing and dub tapes for the rest of the family. I still am amazed at how clear this camera is, and easy to operate! Good choice.

In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them. All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image. Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
