Compact cheap digital camera models tend to have options A and S in the mode selection wheel. These are two control options that allow us to fix some adjustments manually and let the camera automatically regulate others depending on what you select.

The cheap digital camera aperture is inversely proportional to the depth of field,Aperture and other cheap digital camera settings Articles so that the tighter the greater the depth of field and vice versa. If we set the aperture manually on the mode, the camera automatically adjust the speed of the luminosity function.

The S adjustment refers to the shutter priority or speed. Using this mode the camera can set the shutter speed and the camera set the aperture to compensate for the speed you select. This is good to make moving pictures blurry and not have to set a fast (60 to 250). The drawback is that it will require plenty of light for the picture has good resolution. This cheap digital camera option allows us to 'freeze' the movement. The photos with slow shutter speeds require that the camera is fixed on a surface so that the image does not blur (a very useful set of monuments lit night shots or fireworks for example).

Did you ever captured photos or recorded video that did not have the real color? Usually this happens when recording or photographing things in a light that is not the 'normal', i.e. direct or indirect exposure to sunlight.

To avoid this problem, the cameras typically add the option to select the type of scene (landscape, portrait, snow, indoor light, fluorescent light, etc). This serves, in the case of digital cameras, to regulate the focal length, opening time, or white balance. Camcorders, both professionals and the household also tend to include the provision of white balance adjustment. Despite the price of the camera, a cheap digital camera allows you to select something that is supposedly white but may be more yellow or darker depending on the light received, and designate it as accurate white to set the camera from him the rest of colors (which are under different light with different nuances).

Normally this balance adjustment is made automatically by the camera, but if controlled manually every time you change light (moving from indoor to outdoor, shade or enter a clouding, etc), the result is more accurate and color of real images.

To adjust the balance, you normally have to enter the menu and select the WB (White Balance). In some camcorders that display a menu to select the type of light-snow, shade, fluorescent, direct sunlight. There will be an option to set the target manually. To do this you have to select something completely white and press OK to begin pointing the cheap digital camera at the chosen target. From that moment the resolution of color composed considering the white balance made. If lighting conditions change it is important to reset it.
