Digital cameras are revolutionizing the world of home and professional
photography, but they are married to memory cards just as traditional
cameras are married to film. Making the best use of memory cards can have
a very big impact on your enjoyment of digital photography. Choosing the
right memory card for the job can be as important as choosing the right
film for a traditional camera.
If you are new to digital cameras, the digital camera memory cards are the
most important parts of any digital camera, without which they may not
work at all. So if you are handling a digital camera or planning a
purchase, you must know more about the memory cards used in these cameras.
Something many new digital camera owners find counter-intuitive is that
bigger is not always better with a digital memory card. The actual
response speed of your digital camera can depend greatly on the memory
card it is using. The speed that your camera writes new pictures to the
digital memory card is partially dependant on the transfer speed of the
digital camera but is also dependant on factors in the memory card itself.
Memory cards that have .buffers. can take the data into a faster type of
memory and then transfer the data from there to the slower .flash memory.
which provides the main storage of almost all digital camera memory cards.
Some digital camera provide their own buffer memory to allow you to take
your next picture while the previous picture is being transferred to the
memory card.
When you delete an image from the memory card of your digital camera, the
flash memory is .reconfigured. because of special issues having to do with
how this memory stores data. Normally this is an issue that you don't have
to worry about at all. However, if you have a very large memory card and
delete an image, you may experience a several minute delay while .house
cleaning. is performed on the memory card. Because of this, do not delete
images while you are taking pictures. Instead wait until you are at home,
your hotel or in the car before reviewing your pictures and deleting the
ones you don't want. Smaller cards take less time for this .house
cleaning. so many experienced digital camera owners will choose to have
more than one medium sized memory card instead of one very large one.
Now the question arises-how many memory cards are enough for your camera?
On an average basis, you must have at least two memory cards for your
digital camera. That is, if you are using it in a normal and average
fashion.
Most professional photographers choose to carry about four to six memory
cards. This helps them shoot smoothly and constantly. If they run out of
memory, they just take the loaded card out and insert the fresh one.
Because memory cards can malfunction (just like traditional film
canisters, but not as often), you should choose to have at least two
memory cards at all times. By having at least two cards, you can work with
one and keep the other in reserve for emergency. Having at least one extra
memory card for your digital camera will also ensure that you have the
backup protection needed if you run out of space on your first card or in
the possible event of the first card malfunctioning.
The next important issue is how to take proper care of these memory cards.
The memory cards may seem like some small and fragile piece of technology,
but they are actually fairly sturdy. The flash memory is encased in a
stiff plastic shell which can withstand normal wear and handling. At one
end of the memory card is either a set of little holes or copper strips.
These are the sensitive part of the card. Any voltage source or a large
jolt of static could corrupt the memory and probably cause permanent
damage to the card. When the card is not in your camera, it is best to
keep it stored in a protective case or in your camera case. Putting it in
your pocket could cause a short (from your keys perhaps) or dirty the
electrical contracts. There have been instances where the users have
misbehaved greatly with them and the memory cards have yet survived and
continued to function correctly. But, this does not mean that one should
not care for them.
When it is time to transfer your data from the memory card to your PC, it
is best to have a memory card reader, or have a PC with a built-in reader.
The data cables provided with most digital cameras are very slow compared
to the speed of a .direct reader. and it is often easier to review, copy
and delete images from a memory card when using a reader instead of
through the data cable connection.
When traveling, X-Rays have never been shown to corrupt the data on, or
damage, a digital camera memory card. The memory card is also not magnetic
in nature so the motors in the X-Ray machine's conveyor belt should not be
able to cause any harm either.
Armed with knowledge comes the power to benefit from that knowledge. If
you have learned something new about digital memory cards, hopefully you
will benefit by enjoying your digital camera more and finding more
opportunities to take great pictures.
