Summary: About digital input and output
1. Light conversion into data: The sensor
1.1 What newbies need to know about the sensor
1.2 Types of sensors
2. Sensor size, frame and focal length
2.1 Concept of diagonal measurement of the rectangular sensor
2.2 Again the angle and the field of view, with change of frame contents and magnification of subject - and what is lens conversion factor?
2.3 Sensor size and resultant focal length, the relationship in crop factor/conversion factor
2.4 Change of sensor size in changing angle of view
2.5 Change of focal length in changing angle of view
2.6 Compensation of focal length to different sensor size
3. Sensor size
3.1 Why 35mm equivalents is not 35mm wide?
3.2 APS sizes of film and sensor
3.3 APS size sensors to 35mm equivalents
3.4 True sensor size and aspect ratio
3.5 The new 4/3 systems for DSLR
3.6 The larger formats
4. Sensor and image resolution
4.1 Resolution, pixels and megapixel
4.2 Does megapixel matters?
4.3 Can megapixel value always be compared?
5. Image quality
5.1 Image quality in general
5.2 Picture formats: RAW, jpeg and other formats
5.3 What jpeg compression should I use?
6. Image output size and aspect ratio
6.1 DPI
6.2 Printout size formats
6.3 Aspect ratio, cropping and composition
7. File size, transfer, storage
7.1 Keeping your digital photos
8. Digital effects, defects and applications
