The Braun D410 Digital Camera
Pros
A camera compact in shape and function . size of a packet of 20
cigarettes. Designed for simplicity in use and the ladies handbag with a
neat case included 4MByte sensor . very respectable: and a three times
optical zoom . a good lens. Simple to use and gives excellent results .
prints of up to 10 x 8 inches are feasible on best settings
Cons
Only space for two AA batteries . but the case is small! . take some
spares. Lacks an optical viewfinder, LCD display difficult to see on a
sunny day. Flash is good up to 10 feet max . but then that is true of most
on camera flashes The Braun D410 is a compact camera that comes compete
with batteries and camera case . rare nowadays . and a set of leads for
connection to your PC or to your TV.
While this is a still picture and a movie camera, this review is more
concerned about the still picture capability of the Braun D410.
I was able to operate the camera from the box . but then I am a
photographer.
Reading the first few pages of the manual will get you going . and that
will probably be all you require. As with all things electronic, there are
many functions included, most of which you will never use.
Indeed the camera manual . printed in 7 languages . is considerably larger
and heavier than the camera . so leave it at home! Same applies to the CD
Rom containing software for your PC.
Inserting a 256Mbyte SD Memory card allows the camera to store in excess
of 100 images at its highest resolution . 4Mega Pixels. This card can be
used to transfer images to your PC or can be taken to a photo lab to get
the images printed. The camera will take either Secure Digital or
Multimedia memory cards . they are physically identical. The only
difference is that the SD card has a small switch in its side to lock the
contents of its memory. Take care when inserting batteries or cards. This
is a small and delicate piece of equipment! The cards can be inserted the
wrong way around . but the battery cover will not fit back into place!
Switch on the Braun D410 camera by pressing the small button at the centre
of the command dial at the top of the camera. The dial sets the mode of
the camera . fully automatic or a range of options including landscapes,
portraits, sport subjects (rapidly moving) and night photography.
The controls are intuitive to operate starting with the upper toggle
switch on the rear of the camera switching between wide angle and
telephoto. The image you are focussing on is displayed on a small screen
on the rear of the camera . there is no eye piece as such.
Slight pressure on the picture taking button causes the camera to focus
and calculate exposure . a full press causes the camera to take a picture
. there is a small delay between pressing the button and taking the shot .
so keep the camera still! Most users will use the fully automatic mode
which involves no thinking or playing. The built in flash gun switches
itself on as and when needed for individual groups or small portraits. Do
not expect it to fill a hall though . this is a compact camera!
The screen on the back of the camera is able to review images taken and
stored in memory. Press the playback arrow button to go into review mode .
press it again to go back to photograph mode. Use the lower toggle switch
to step through the shots you have taken. Individual images can be deleted
. and taken again . if required. I found the screen difficult to use on a
very bright sunny day.
A drawback of any small camera is that there is little room for the
batteries. The Braun D410 accepts 2 AA size batteries. So take some spares
with you as they soon run down should you be making use of the camera over
a period. The motors for the telephoto lens, flash and other circuits
drain the cells.
I am not going to go through all of the options and control functions of
the camera. The manual does that very well. So I would suggest that should
you buy this camera you spend half an hour reading the manual and then put
it to one side and take some photographs! The advantage of digital is that
you are not exposing film . and you can delete the images you do not want
to keep.
The camera can take short bursts of video as well, but I am not going to
describe that!
In summary the Braun D410 is a very competent consumer camera which will
delight the user in its simplicity and quality. Ideal for the ladies and
their handbag.
